RE: [RC] [RC] beware of speeding bicyclists - Alan&Marlene Hopp

Thanks!  After some xrays, it appears that I also have
a broken right ishium. (seatbone)  Doc says it will be
6-8 weeks to heal...argh!....

Hey Marlene,

I was kicked in the back by my daughter's pony.  I
had my back to her as I
was encouraging my old gelding to extricate himself
from some quick sand.
My daughter was small enough, at the time, to not
understand my orders to
move her pony.  So, I also got the wind knocked out
of me and had to get my
two little daughters out of the back country, load
the pony and gelding and
drive an hour home...

It sucked.

However, when I called my then ER physician brother,
he told me that if they
were really broken ribs that I would feel 90% better
in exactly 12 days.  He
was right.  I noticed one day that I didn't need any
more Vicodin and when I
counted up the days, Voila!!!  12th day.  At that
point, aspirin did just
fine and I was back in the saddle.

So your summer is not lost, just delayed.   Eat lots
of ice cream for the
calcium!!!  Hee hee 

Hang in there!!

Sheila

Marlene,

I am so sorry you are hurt...Hope you heal
quickly...!

We were doing some night riding on the last 15 miles
of the Tevis trail last

Thursday night when we were approached on a narrow
section of trail by two 
mountain bikers with flashlights..They are not
allowed on this trail at 
all..and were complete idiots! My horse turned
sideways coming out of a 
steep creek drainage. Luckily he just stopped, then
continued up the 
hill..but it was a steep drop off down into the
canyon if he had backed 
up...he was fine as soon as he figured out what they
were...

I sure wish these folks would realize the danger
they pose to prey animals.

Just a reminder to all.  Be wary of speeding
bicylists!
  Yesterday, while riding through the Pike

National

Forest, here in Colorado, a man on a bicycle

apeared

right in front of me, speeding down the steep,

single

track trail and literally crashed into my horse,
causing her to sidestep so quickly that I lost a
stirrup and hit the ground hard.  It knocked the

wind

out of me, broke ribs, and bruised my shoulder and
hips.  This guy picked up his bike, sarcasticly

said

"Thanks" and sped away down the hill, leaving me

there

on the ground!  It took me almost an hour to

reattach

my stirrup, adjust my saddle and painfully get back

up

on my frightened horse while trying to breathe with

my

ribs grinding together.  Good thing I wear a helmet
and carry emergency tools, first aid kit and twine

for

any needed repairs.  Good thing also that my Morab
mare stood there patiently waiting for me.
  I am always polite to these cyclists when out on

the

trail and don't understand this sort of treatment.
Most of them are considerate in return, but this

guy

has now ruined my summer.  I won't be riding at all
for a month or two with these broken ribs. 

Sigh.....

  So be forewarned and watch out for these

cyclists!
