It was funny in a way. We were all ok but I was quite sore so we turned the bikes around and rode back to the truck at the entrance of the trail. My left thigh was starting to bruise and swell. In a couple of hours I could not put pressure on my left leg. The swelling is between my knee and hip. The other two were ok and kept going. They found another rider and went most of the afternoon.
