Damn, Snowy, if you're gonna ride without your shorts on, bad things are gonna happen.

Yep... that's some hardcore road rash Snowy! Keep that stuff clean and here's wishing you a quick return to the bike. I've been off the bike six weeks myself from a leg/knee injury, so I know it sucks to be injured. Hopefully you heal up soon.

Nice boys
OMG, someone forgot to tell me to wear shorts, damn them!!! HA HA HA!! I did have shorts on, they are short shorts (biker one) and its amazing that they didn't get ripped up either. I did hit my head but was saved by the lucky HELMET!!! Just a small amount of road rash on my forehead.

Sore saddle cyclist
That looks a little sore Snowy, but how did the blue bike do? Go to Wild Oats and buy some Aloe Vera Jelly, in the vitamin section, rub some in two to three time a day, boo boo will go away. Thanks for including the toes, best I've ever seen on BF!!

Looks nasty! And the real lesson here...carry bandaids!
I always carry a little first aid kit in my saddle bag, but when I fell a few days ago on a new trail. I went to my kit and...no bandaids! Apparently my husband had cut himself at work, and couldn't be bothered to search through the suitcases because we're on the road--so he just went for the kit he knew was in my saddle bag! All he left me was a few wet wipes--so I had to walk my bike and keep wiping the blood away before it got to my socks until I could find a convenience store...
So new lesson learned for me--check saddle bag before all rides.
Recover soon!

Shifty the bike is BROKEN, I bent the derailleur and messed up the shifters. The bike will be fixed over the weekend which is good for me since I can't ride. But out of ALL of this I get NEW STUFF!!!

P.S. Polysporin &/or Vitamin E Gel. Keep it covered at night with the medication and let it dry during the the day.

nice legs.....I mean nice road rash......no, wait...nice legs with road rash.
I'm not bragging but my big crash a year ago at 30 mph gave me alot of road rash and two broken ribs. I rode another 25 miles after the crash to finish. It's kinda weird how if you keep moving you don't realize just how bad it is until you stop....that's when the real pain sets in. I was very lucky in that I did a complete Beloki at speed and landed on my rump rather than my hip...which would have resulted in a busted hip.
Take care and get back on that horse (bike) soon.

bandaids?? I think thats a little out of the realm for anything less than 6x6 or maybe 4x4 gauze. besides I think the rubbing of the gauze would be more painful on the raw nerve ends than being exposed ... the true bleeding slows to an ouze pretty quick.

If you can find some of the duoderm patches, that stuff works miriacles and really reduces the pain. I went down at 23mph on Sunday and the rash where I used the duoderm is 90% better than the more minor rash I used traditional (less $) methods.
