The downtown Little Rock trolley tracks claim another victim! Just goes to show you, it doesn't matter how often you ride these streets, eventually they can jump up and bite you! I figure sooner or later it is bound to happen to everyone, so I just went ahead and got it over with :)
Lesson learned.... I knew there was a reason that I avoided the intersection at Scott & Markham like the plague! All of the tracks converge right there so it is very tricky to hit ALL of them perpendicular.... especially when you are riding WAAAAAY too fast! I got overly confident and got a painful snap back to reality! I fell in the exact same spot where Jeremy fell last week... danger!
All in all my injuries could have been SO much worse so I count myself as a pretty lucky gal. Scrapes and bruises down my right arm and leg (you don't even want to see my hip right now!) and I cracked my helmet! It happened to crack the styrofoam directly under where my helmet says "I LOVE MY BRAIN". I almost forgot my helmet when I left the shop that afternoon and Chad called after me to make sure I remembered it... dodged a big ole bullet on that one! I would much rather be nursing my whiplash and wounds at home than in the hospital (especially since I don't have insurance!).
As Eric on Boy Meets World taught me so many years ago... "Life's tough, get a helmet!"
