Just a quick update.
My left side has taken a beating this week due to "user error" on the bike. Tuesday, I had a collision with a guardrail while I was trying to avoid getting hit by a car making a right-hand turn. Just a few bruises, my pride was damaged the most.
This morning's ride found me falling off the bike completely. Luckily, I landed in the grass. This I cannot blame on a car: I have started using clipped pedals and biking shoes. When I came to a stop, I had already released my right foot and was getting ready to place it on the ground when I started to tip over to the left. One quick squeak came out of me and I fell over bike and all. My left shoe did come out of the clip, and the trailer with Goliath stayed upright. Matt had ridden past me and told me he was stunned when he turned around and I was sprawled on the grass.
I'm off to yoga class to work out the kinks.
I'll report more happenings later when we get back from the Dublin Irish Festival tonight. Knowing my luck, Matt will hit me in the head with a ball during the hurling (it's a stick and ball sport) hands-on demonstration.
