I’m laying in bed at the Timber Inn in Pierce Idaho nursing a sore, possibly broken shoulder. The local Medical Clinic is not open on Saturdays so I grabbed some ice from the bar and a few shots and a few couple of beers. Anything to dull the pain.
I essentially locked up the rear brakes causing me to slide sideways (not a normal direction for a bike travel). Once in this sideways slide, I hit some rocks that caused me to immediately and forcefully slam to the earth. My helmet now has a nice chink in it. My left pannier is dented and not square. My crash bar is bent. My hand guard is split. All in all, the safety equipment worked but damn does my shoulder hurt.
Tomorrow we will try to push on to Wallace. If that goes okay we will press on and if it doesn’t, we will hop on the highway and head back to Park City.
Bob did have a Go Pro on his bike but sadly it didn’t capture the event.
