Today was to be the 62 miler for my brother-in-law’s birthday, but inexperienced riders and a course that was too hilly spelled disaster. Some dropped out entirely and the others lagged a bit. It was quite windy here in VA, but otherwise a great fall riding day. I felt great, was well rested and really wanted to get the full ride in, but out of courtesy I deferred and stopped with the rest. So took one for the team.

well , I screwed up this evening.
I had another crash.
what is it about October and crashes with me .
different spot but almost identical crash .
I went to turn around , and the front tire dropped into what I call the gutter . An area about 15” wide that separates the road from the curb .
I think I hit some acorns and the front wheel slid out from under me .
Once I got it together and picked up my bike . The front wheel was turned as far as it will go .
small hole in my left thumb where something cut a little chunk of skin out . My right elbow and down my arm has road rash . And my right wrist hurts like hell right now .
But I’m pretty sure nothing is broken. Just bruised up . Right knee is a little sore .
Tell I’ll really be sore next couple of days .
Just noticed my right rib cage is a little sore .
I had hoped to make my 100 this month . Now I’m not sure .

Redemption day. Very strong ride in rugged hills, felt really great to unwind. It was a beautiful fall day here, but the gnats were everywhere. Check out my new bottles for the Bianchi. I set this bike up for the mountains with smaller gearing and shorter cranks, it rocks!

Second was a roundabout where I had right of way and a car didn’t stop. I purposely ditched the bike to avoid a head on. Result, broken rib.
I always wear a helmet and would like to think I’m a good, experienced rider. But you never know.
Even yesterday, in high crosswinds all I did was change hand positions to grab the drops and almost went down (that one would have been avoidable, I guess).

They say every accident is avoidable, but I firmly disagree. My first and hopefully worst one was being attacked by a wild dog. Sucker came from behind and side without making a sound and attacked. By the time he was caught up in my wheel it was way too late to unclip. Result, broken pelvis.

Getting a late start jumping on the thread. The rain appears to be coming, temp is dropping, and daylight is quickly diminishing. I can use some motivation.

well , I screwed up this evening.
I had another crash.
what is it about October and crashes with me .
different spot but almost identical crash .
I went to turn around , and the front tire dropped into what I call the gutter . An area about 15” wide that separates the road from the curb .
I think I hit some acorns and the front wheel slid out from under me .
Once I got it together and picked up my bike . The front wheel was turned as far as it will go .
small hole in my left thumb where something cut a little chunk of skin out . My right elbow and down my arm has road rash . And my right wrist hurts like hell right now .
But I’m pretty sure nothing is broken. Just bruised up . Right knee is a little sore .
Tell I’ll really be sore next couple of days .
Just noticed my right rib cage is a little sore .
I had hoped to make my 100 this month . Now I’m not sure .

The wrist was better this morning, knees a little stiff as is the right elbow and arm .
Started taking some left over prescription NSAIDs that do wonders for my arthritis ,bruises , and aches .
I always heard of you get thrown from a horse , you get back on .
I’ll continue the pain killers for a few days and try to be more careful.
My bike suffered a few scrapes and scratches like me and now my shift indicator doesn’t tell me what gear I’m in . But it still rides and I took it for a spin .
BTW I almost always have on a helmet and gloves when I’m riding. Those gloves have saved my hands a few times .

One more good long ride and I'll have it. Not sure when that can happen, though. Maybe just a few at a time.

I hope you heal up quickly. I was thinking I’m overdue for a fall. And then I dropped the bike this afternoon pulling off the trail. Same deal...front tire dropped down beside the concrete...no man’s land. Fortunately I didn’t hit the ground as I was almost stopped. Put a couple of scratches on the rear through axle doodad but I don’t see anything else. Not even any shifter rash.
That rough little drop off from pavement to the area between pavement and curb is a bike riders nightmare .
I had just swapped out the tires on my Specialized Hardrock back to the 26x2.5 Maxxis Hookworms , a tire I usually feel safe riding over that dreaded area . But this time involved leaves , acorns and a little moisture from the neighbors sprinkling system . A recipe for disaster.
If you ride it’s not if you’re going down , it when . Things happen !
