And a broken collarbone. Oy veh.
JUST started commuting again the last couple weeks. Felt great, after 2 1/2 years of riding almost not at all, seriously probably less than 50 miles in that whole stretch, due to 70+ hour workweeks and getting to work before sunrise and getting home after sunset.
So, of course, I go splat on the way to work last Thursday. It was downhill, probably not going more than 20mph, which is plenty fast to hit the pavement, as you would know if you've ever done it. I bounced at least once, and slid quite a ways. My cochlear device fell off my head on impact and was about 30 feet from where my body stopped. About $9000 worth of luck that it was undamaged. Not so much luck on the collarbone, which snapped right where they usually do. So I'm off work for a minimum of three weeks, and can't ride.
Update: Moderators removed my gory closeup pix of the road rash details, so you know they were damned impressive!
