So about 15 miles into the Long Beach Marathon Bike Tour my chain succumb to my girth and I went down pretty hard. There was some blood loss but after I talked the police into not sending a ambulance for me I got back up on the (now broken) saddle and made it the last 10 miles to the finish line. Woo Hoo!!
Here is some of our group towards the beginning.
Guy on a monster UNI!
And then I went down!
The boys putting my back together after the fall.
Came away with two scratched elbows, 2 scratched knees, two scratched feet, a dented skull cap (helmet), destroyed faux Omega, dented my frame in a couple spots (minor), bent and gouged handle bars, exploded right grip, bent a peddle, and.......
Felt good getting some cheers towards the end.
Almost.....
Then off to Orange for the Circle City Ride. I decided not to ride due to a swollen knee but had fun hanging before the ride.
All in all a AMAZING bike day!
