Injured My Wrist

Here I sit at work so early that no one exists. I am here early today because today is town meeting day. Last night I realized where I first injured my wrist. It is at West Rock Ridge. It was a Thursday night and it was dark. I was night riding on my Trek when I reached the top view platform and parking lot overlooking New Haven. I usually circle the dirt walking area that encompasses the parking lot. I like to wave to New Haven. It is so beautiful at night. Suddenly I hit a little hole or washout. The bike slammed upward in defiance towards me. How could I just ride it into a hole. I had a lose grip on the handlebars. It was every thing just to not go over the bars. The jolt had jammed my wrist. I had to shake it off because the decent off of West Ridge is very dangerous. By the time I got home I had just filed the ache in the bin with the rest of my aches and pains.

Last night just as I realized where it happened I re injured it. I was hammering out of the saddle (remember last year) when my clipless pedals released my shoe unexpectedly. All my weight went forward towards the handlebars. All the weight went to my wrist and it gave out. It really hurt. I sit here now with a more than usual pain. I think it is time to see the doctor. I will call after town meeting….
