Battle Scars

I felt the need to share a new battle scar with everyone.

I fell off my bike today, and landed on a pointy rock, which took a bit of a bite out of my left elbow. I am really quite proud of it.

After a quick visit to the local hospital (4 1/2hours later) I am now the proud new owner of 7 stitches.

Dean was so impressed, he couldn't wait to take a photo of it, so please enjoy.....

Feel free to add to the wall of Battle Scars.

The quick fire dirt crits took out Tim in his nice shiny Berm Jersey last week...unfortunately the picture doesn't show the skin hanging off his leg :-( Not a bad scratch for a 6 minute race!
