Alison, Amy and I went on a ride today along side the bike trail. Beautiful day, high 70's, hardly any bikers on the path. We have to ride the road for a couple hundred yards to get to the trail. Normally, we would cut through the woods, but with all the rain we have had, it would have been too muddy.

We were almost home, when a car was coming down the road. We went into a neighbors yard on the side, a branch fell and spooked Jody. She whirled around and I lost my balance and fell off right in the middle of the road! It knocked the wind out of me and I was worried I broke my hip. Amy called the ambulance and they took me to the ER. After x-rays, there isnt anything broken, thank goodness. My rear hurts like mad and my right ankle. My right foot must have got caught in the stirrup and twisted it.

Jody was really good with the bikes and cars, but spooks at a stupid branch falling. I think that will be the end of me riding her. You just cant relax with a horse like that. Amy took a picture of me laying in the middle of the road...I said take one of the "Road Kill"! :)
