So here is the real story

While being chased by a rabid farm dog I was struck by a runaway truck that flipped me and my bike into a freight train. Bouncing off the train I was bitten by the rabid dog before I could get my water bottle and squirt electrolytes in the dogs eyes. Then the dag ran away.

Here are the pictures:

Bicycles East has a few pictures up in their gallery also

So the real story is that I just fell at the beginning, before the ride. Most likely ripped a blood vessel under the skin. The heart pumping and 15 miles later it looked like the lump you see in the pictures. I was more embarrassed than in pain. I certainly will be more careful from now on.

By the way, I am trying out a new feature, since these images are geotagged I thought I would try to display them on a map. That part seems to work, but the pictures were all taken at the same spot so you really can’t see that there are 10 images in that one location.
