Well, below is a picture of my black eye. Its healed up by now, but this is what it looked like at the time. So how did it happen? 25 miles into a 110 mile dirt bike ride in Salida, CO, a tree reached out and grabbed my bike. Yep, the tree got a hold of the pipe on my bike and basically stopped the bike in its tracks. I went over the handle bars and banged my helmet protected head on the beautiful forest single-track. What caused the black eye was the tight fitting goggles I had on, jamming my glasses into my face.
Good new was, the glasses, myself and the bike all survived the wreck so I hopped back on and continued out the remainder of the ride. And boy do I love riding in Salida. The trails are long, beautiful, and best of all, vacant.
So there it is... Without glasses for full effect.
