I usually bungee cord the bike up along the side wall but it wasn’t a priority Tuesday night. At least my buddy put it done on the floor on the non drive side.
The really important stuff........How is the bike????

I was very fortunate that another member of our club was not far away and could take both my bike and me back to my van at the start. After he packed up all my bike stuff in the van he took me to the ER. I wasn’t really in the mood to check out my bike Tuesday night!!

My brother came by today and we looked it over. Interestingly the tires on both wheels were completely flatted. We’re guessing I must have hit rocks with both wheels??? That sort of makes sense as it felt like I was launched off the road.

There are cosmetic scrapes to the brake levers on both the right and left sides which seems weird. I was only expecting scrapes on the right one which is what made first contact with the ground. The bar tape on the left drop bar was scraped up more than the one on the right side as well which was a surprise as well.

Maybe all those were related to the rider behind me riding over my front wheel when I went down??? The front wheel is out of alignment and hopefully it can be trued with tension adjustment to the spokes. Not a big deal if not.

The rear derailluer has scuff marks on it so I suspect the hanger might need retrueing. I have the adjustment tool so no big deal.

However all the forks, bars and other key components looked to be in good condition. It was about time to do an overhaul on the bike anyway so no real extra work involved from what I can tell.

Overall it was better than I might have expected as long as I don’t find any major damage to the frame.

That’s a great reminder on the hanger and I agree. I think I’m on my third hanger already. Even with a new OEM hanger I have to make a small adjustment to get the 11sp shifting dialed in so it shifts “decently” across all cogs. I’m thinking the frame is not exactly true enough to just install the hanger without adjusting it. Maybe that’s why I got such a good deal on it???? More than you want to know but I have the very first Campy 11 sp Super Record grouppo but it just hasn’t performed great. I can get the shifting perfectly tuned and I might get 500 miles on it before shifting gets sloppy again. I have Shimano and SRAM Red on other bikes and those perform exceptionally well. But it’s all Italian on this bike so I just ride it.

Re the bulge in the shorts, the picture really didn’t capture how large it got. That picture was taken in ER a few hours after the crash. I think my surgeon said I lost at least 5 pints of blood draining from that thing. I knew it was a really hard lick right after I bounced off the asphalt.

I really enjoyed that weekend! The original 50+ group ride. Fun times!
