Yup...It's a Jeep thing
So...long time no post as usual. Been crazy busy for what seems like forever now. Too much sick riding lately to waste time on a post. Today I had a guy in a Jeep slam on his brakes so his buddy could throw his can at me while I was out for a spin. It'd been almost two years since i'd had anything thrown at me while riding. What's with people in Jeeps throwing energy drinks and beer cans at people? The phrase "it's a Jeep thing" comes to mind.

NOT THE STOPPER FINGER!
NOT THE STOPPER FINGER!
Was lubing my chain pre-ride like I always do and the rig slipped/shifted sending the rotating chaining to meet my finger and it sucked my finger right in. The worst part was I had to complete the rotation to get it out and the tooth went straight through my finger-I heard the nail crack before I even felt the pain. Typing hard...can't believe I have never done this in so many years of riding, nor have I ever heard of it happening to anyone. What a dumb ass injury. Hard to get a decent macro because the finger is shaking so bad lol. What a bummer. No mtb today for me :(
