No, not these kind of ribs. I think the only thing I couldeat in that picture is the tablecloth.
I mean the human, breakable kind. Last Saturday I took out my 29er MTB for the first time at W. Branch. Had a great time riding with my husband. But (and there's always a but), I got a little tooooooooooo confident with my added rock riding abilities that comes with bigger wheels and CRASH on an uphill rocky section. Luckily no one there to see me. Not even Rudy. Handle bar goes into one side of the "chest" (well, where my chest would be if I had one) and then lots-o-pain thank you. Having broken rib numbers 6-12 (not all on one side of the skeleton and not all at once either), I knew it wasn't good. I didn't say anything and even raced the next day at the Thorn MTB Trail Time Trial, even though it was painful and probably not a good call on my part. But if I wasn't going to tell anyone, well then I had no excuses not to ride.
So, it's rib #5 - confirmed by my ortho last Thursday. She was not surprised and didn't have to guess how I did it. So that just leaves ribs 1-4, which I hope never to break for a number of reasons. It's not an aspiration either. Just an observation.

crashing uphill always hurts me more than down. Recover quickly!!
Not only did you ride the Thorn Mt. Time Trial, you won it! Damn, you are tough.
Hi!
I would like to invite you to my linky party on my bike blog called ‘Want It Wednesday’. Its very simple, by going to http://www.followingthechainline.blogspot.com/p/bike-bling-wednesday.html put your name and URL address in the linky Wizard. Then on every other Wednesday, blog about a piece of desirable bike kit that you want to own or even want to brag about, remembering to link back to my address so others can join too. It is a fantastic, fun and commitment free way for others to find your blog and read about you. It’ll increase you traffic to your blog and hopefully get you more followers.
Give it a try!!
