On Sunday 4-20-08, Bill & I went in a different direction and ended up at Gates Pass. While there, we stopped to take pics on a pull off which was angled more steeply than I thought. As I put the kickstand down, the bike slid the other way & with some of the fingers of my right hand on the brake lever & the others on the throttle, when I jerked the bike up to keep from dumping it, I felt a pop and intense pain in my wrist. Guess I sprained it cause it swelled up & hurt the rest of the trip in Tucson..I have been back in Texas now 5 days and the swelling is gone and it is only painful when I lift stuff or apply pressure to it...Anyway, this is a pic of the Tucson Mountain Park that we went through. REMEMBER, if you want to see it bigger, click on the pic..
