I've been thinking about doing some road racing next year. The problem is I'm scared of the head injury. My kid is young, my business is doing well, my wife quit her job and is starting her own business. I see clients and victims and cyclist friends with head injuries and it hits closer to home now. I've been riding more dirt to get off the road. I read parts of the Should I Quit thread in the 33. I can relate to a lot of that stuff. I feel less invincible.

Speaking of which, it would be a gross injustice to not mention this, the most famous migrator of them all.

unpleasant but it was an improvement of my ride last night. Even at my slow speed of 30 kmh, hailstones hurt.

Hail sucks, especially when there's lightning about. Hiding under a tree is a tough choice. Hail does hurt, and glad you made it through.
