Yesterday at 85km of a 100+ ride from Okotoks, I crashed my bike. After entering the city I was on a path and was heading towards a connecting road. With the sun in my eyes I didn't see a chain in the shade stretched across the path to prevent cars from coming on to the path until it was too late. Chain hit the tire and I went over the bars. Landed on my hands and head (always wear a helmet).

My wife came and brought me to urgent care. No concussion thankfully but my hand wasn't so lucky. I dislocated my ring finger. Thankful, because of all my cycling, my wedding ring doesn't fit anymore otherwise things could have been much worse. No break.

Here's what my hand looks like today:

Here's what it looked like yesterday. Spoiler because it's really gross. Don't open if you're squeemish.

Spoiler!

Pretty sure those angles aren't supposed to be apart of your "body geometry". They had to cut the glove off. Right after they relocated it. Last edited by KTrain; 09-27-2020 at 07:35 PM.
