Day 142 - Hit the Tree

Got out of work early so I could get in a ride. Met up with some of my riding buddies Tweezer, Grapeape, and Nico at Mission Trails at 5:30 p.m. Nico took the lead and set a fast pace, followed by Grapeape, me, and Tweezer. We I rode near the back trying to keep up. We played a game where if you put your foot down for whatever reason, you would have to go to the back. We played the game for several miles, with the lead changing several times. The pace was fast. Too fast. I was following Tweezer around a turn in Poo's Forest and cut the corner too quick, and was headed straight for a tree. I quickly grabbed my brakes, which stopped my bike, but my momentum carried me and I hit the tree with my right shoulder. Bam! Fortunately, I was ok. I quickly shook it off and we took off again. We rode this way for a good hour and a half until the sun went down. We made it back to the parking lot, exhausted. I was a little beat up, had a few scratches, and a slightly sore right shoulder, but wow, what a good, hard ride!
