Can't wear leg pads every day. Just how it is. Interestingly, this is the first time that I've gotten gashed when NOT wearing pads. Usually when I get stitches I've got them on.

For those of you wondering....

I was on a mellow trail in light rain. I cut a corner and got water on my goggles which blinded me. When I hit the brakes, I had the awesome luck of hitting the ONLY log across the whole trail. It's just a little one, maybe 6", but as it was wet my front wheel spat out sideways and somewhere in the crash I gashed my shin. At first I thought it was the bike, but I coudn't find any bits of meat anywhere on the rig, and combined with how dirty the wound was it must have been a punji sticking outta the log.

Oh, and of course it got infected and I had to go on IV antibiotics for a week.

Only took one day off the bike though.

Well, if you looked close you could just see it, but what you're looking at there is the muscle fascia.
