Ankle Injury - Is Mountain Biking the Answer?
I was out hiking about six weeks ago and had a severe ankle sprain. It
is still screwed up and I cannot mountain climb or hike. I really need to get back into the backcountry and was thinking a mountain bike is the answer. Has anyone hurt their ankle on a bike ride. My ankle was a big as a grapefruit and filled with blood. I had to take many painkillers that first week after ER. Can anyone recommend any good books to read about how to select a mountain bike, and how to live together with hikers. The last time I rode a Mountain Bike, was when I rode to the top of El Cap from Crane Flats in 1980. Since then I have really considered Mt. Bikers to be pretty much worthless pieces of crap, that tear up trails, and then go home to their trailer parks to smoke crack, and have sex with their teenage daughters, but now that I have hurt myself I have had a change of heart. I really need to get back to the mountains, and I am willing to live in peace, and try to bridge the gap between your kind and technical trad rockclimbers. I am so sorry I have ignored you guys over the years when you have said "good day" when we encountered each other on the San Merril Upper trail. I now see this was wrong and ask for you forgivness. Also, can anyone recommend any good rides in the San Gabriels that are good entry level rides. How many miles do you guys ride in a day, I was doing 20 mile day hikes, with 5000 gains. So when healthy I can probally ride 50 miles a day. Where can I buy a cow bell? Also, I live here in La Canada, can anyone recommend a good place to buy a bike. Thanks Rockstar |

Maybe these guys can help. http://www.ojai.net/swanson/snlshows.htm (click Watch the Cowbell Skit) This sure smells like MV to me. Troll. |

" The last time I rode a Mountain Bike, was when I rode to the top of El Cap from Crane Flats in 1980. 1980, Isn't this about the time mountain bikes were invented by Gary Fisher? Describe your bike. |

I was working at the Carson REI at the time. It was a green Novara made out of Steel. It was quite a piece of crap compared to your modern bikes mad out of Aluminum. The Rockstar |

Since then I have really considered Mt. Bikers to be pretty much
worthless pieces of crap, that tear up trails, and then go home to their trailer parks to smoke crack, and have sex with their teenage daughters, You are so full of crap. Like any of us could afford a trailer. We live in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we get home, out Dad thrashes us to sleep with his belt! |

We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY! Knew I had that somewhere in the depths of my HD. Shawn |
