Looks like my elbow and left hood took most of fall. Knocked my left hood a little crooked and my elbow and hand are starting to hurt. Destroyed my toe covers not that they were really working anyways. Somehow my chain got knocked into my wheel. I was worried the hanger was bent but shifting seems to be ok.
Only other thing that i have noticed so far is my front brake is rubbing and sporadically. I took the wheel off and checked to make sure everything was tight and put it back on. I thought it was good and then randomly it started rubbing. This was on my bike stand and without me touching anything but spinning the wheel.
Just picked up new shoes and booties.

Went over my bike again and got the brake to stop rubbing. Other than my hand feeling like it’s sprained and a gnarley bruise on my leg I think I am okay. Wife and I went on a nice 10 mile ride. She’s getting more comfortable and looks like a natural so pretty stoked. Thanks for the wishes glad it’s not worse.

He/she didn’t stay. It honestly happened so fast I don’t think I would have said anything. I was more concerned with my bike. And once I realized the rear wheel wasn’t spinning I was getting really worried. Pain didn’t set in to a few mins later.
