    Yesterday took some friends out to SART. We started at 7 Oaks Bridge climbed to Constance Peak then dropped the 1st 2 sections. This is where my angry friend took a good spill on the more exposed of the 2 trails. Scratching himself up good and making him grumpier. I should have not taking him down that(lack of experience) We then climbed back to the Hunting grounds climbed the short single track then dropped all the way through to Middle Control. Just before the rockslide is where I was feeling overly confident due to cleaning many section throughout the day that I hadn't b4. Pedal striking a rock at a small washout. The result was yours truly going over the edge 15' + down. A small downed tree broke my fall while bruising my ribs. I then flipped down to a small flat area luckily. Boulder pile was not far off. Bike is ok, I am battered a bit. Sore ribs from nipple to shoulder blade. Also my leg hit something and it feels bruised to the bone. Nothing broken except my decision making skills. 2 bad decisions yesterday for some reason I made that I usually wouldn't. Missed a ride today due to this. Booooo

    Missing a day for a stunt like that? I'd say excellent outcome!

    Anytime you're so far beyond control, you're in fate's hands. That one could have easily gone bad. Have a great ride tomorrow :cool:

    Funny how things can happen so quickly!! You fell in a fairly rough area.
