Was riding my bike early. I went under the new underpass at the north end of the Greene way. They had not cleared out all of the sandbags yet and I cought my back wheel on one and was thrown over the handlebars. (I was on the Fixie). Anyway, I dislocated my right hand ring finger.
I tired to straighten it out. No luck. I had to call Larry to come help me.. And even had Larry try and pull it out, but it wouldn’t go back in.
Had to go (have Larry take me) to the Emergency room. I HATE medical facilities because so far they are a complete ripoff. But, alas, I was stuck. (hopefully you are reading this in the future where we have legitimate medical care.. that would be nice, and to no thanks of “conservatives” I am sure.)
Here is the before Xray.
And after a shot of lidocane and a bill that would eventually be almost 3000$, Here is the result. It’s sorta fixed.
No real thanks to the PA.. he was lost.. I don’t think he has ever done this before. Than goodness there were no complications because I am sure they would have missed them. I would have Happily paid a couple hundred for the X-ray, and a shot of lidocane, and done the rest myself.
We were gonna’ be smart and do Paddlefest with a bike theme.
Looks like fun right? haha? We have a bike on a raft behind us?
OMg, We almost died. That raft acted like the biggest anchor ever. we could not yank it though the water. we only got half way before we gave up.
Fortunatly… we had a bike with us!! I rode home, and got a vehicle, and went back and picked those guys up!! lol!! We actually got to the end before some others did!! It was SO HOT.
Larry crusein.
Ended up riding into the river. This was more fun than the rest of the trip to be honest.
Breakin’ the law.
We stopped below the lock and dam just to check it out. Wonder how much longer it will be there?
This was SO much fun. Larry and I talked about doing this for months.. the weekend before the event we had nothing to enter.. but we both had signed up! lol.. We ended up putting together a, well, file cabinet?
Workin’ it! don’t have much time!
We made it.. Even passed inspection!
Dale accompanied us.. He walked a few MILES that day.. and probably shouldn’t have.. He hurt his back. 🙁
Derby days!
Along with the race was a fair.. and you could imagine, it was quite eclectic!
