| Comments: Back on the bike. I crashed after hitting mold or moss on a wood bridge. It was a slam hit on my left side. Concussion, heavy bruising and in short I was near immobile. Thirty days late I can walk, with a limp, and got on the bike for a short checkout. I would have gone further, but sense prevailed. |
