Ever have one of those days where adventure and a bit of misfortune go hand in hand? Well, let me take you on a little ride through my latest escapade. It all began with a blissful two-hour journey up the Blackfoot, the kind of ride that fills your soul with pure, unadulterated joy.
The Blackfoot River, with its meandering trails and breathtaking views, was the perfect escape. I was pedaling away, lost in the rhythm of the ride, the fresh air, and the scenery. It’s moments like these that make you appreciate the great outdoors and the simple pleasure of a bike ride.
But, as they say, what goes up must come down. In this case, quite literally. Returning home, in a twist of fate that only life can concoct, my bike took a tumble. And guess what it took with it? Yep, my toe. The pedal, in a not-so-graceful move, decided to make an acquaintance with my toe, leaving me with a pain that felt suspiciously like a break.
I went to bed hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. Miraculously, by morning, it felt better, not perfect, but definitely not broken. Call it luck, call it resilience, or just call it a good old-fashioned toe miracle.
Now, here’s where the plot thickens. Despite the soreness, I’m gearing up for another ride today, this time up to the South Fork Lolo to Lantern Ridge. As I walk to the coffee shop, prepping for the ride, I can feel the soreness in my foot with each step. It’s a reminder of yesterday’s mishap, but also a testament to the fact that a little soreness isn’t going to hold me back.
