Monday – Wednesday

Last Friday, I led the first day of street rides for Project Ride Smart at Regency Park Elementary. I had the Blue group – excellent cyclists, ready to learn more on our rides. Every one of the four classes was great and I had no sweep and a couple of groups with 9 students. I forgot to take pictures, but no problem, I would be back on Monday and Tuesday.

However, on Monday morning, as we were getting all the bikes out of the classroom where they were stored, I tripped on a kickstand and fell. HARD on my left knee. Not good. The PRS team and school personnel moved into action. Cheryl picked up me and my bike and took “us” home. I was able to drive myself to a Kaiser urgent care. Whew! Nothing broken. Two days of rest and I would be just fine (really?). This was me Monday through Wednesday doing RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevate.

Thursday. Nope, I am not 100%. In fact, I need two more weeks of RICE. Sigh.
