So last week I went on a ride, a loop that I can normally bang out pretty quickly up here on the North Shore of Vancouver. My last memory was entering the trail after the 35min climb and taking a picture of my bike and trail, bragging to co-workers in our text group chat.
My next memory is hazy, thinking "Ok I'm done riding for the day." Then another hazy memory of me riding my bike down the fire road towards my truck. Then my memory becomes coherent as I'm deciding to drive down the hill a bit to assess how I'm feeling. Meanwhile I had been texting in my group chat and repeating myself, forgetting that I had messaged the same thing over and over again.
The girlfriend came to get me and we went to the hospital. CT scan is normal. Have a headache and a big red imprint of my helmet on the side of my forehead. Obviously my TLD lid is cracked right through in a few spots.
Fast forward almost a week. I feel pretty good. Some sore muscles and bruises, although the 5 or 10min before the crash I don't remember, and the 5 or 10min after is completely gone. Scary feeling.
Be careful out there.
