I don't know if it was the evil-eye hex from Bob W this morning or Norms bridge curse but I bit it super hard this am in Deer park about 1/4 of the way into my loop.I slid out on a 2 plank bridge and was being super pissed about the impact to my palms when i noticed my knee.Seems the steel mesh on the exit for traction sliced my kneecap off.It's now just a meatflap.It took me like 5 mins to even admit to myself that is was my knee and it really did happen.I assessed,wrapped and stabilized my situation then fired up the cell for evac.Got myself out to the road and caught my ride home.It's been awhile since i've gotten hit that hard that far out and was happy to see that my basic emerg plan worked pretty well.Definately not life threatening but i am QUITE F'd up and everyone is screaming at me to go to hospital.I'm gonna see what i can do on my own for now.Anyway I'm down for a few days and hope to be pedaling maybe next wknd
