OUCH!!!
Saturday, February 3, 2007
 

Doing some time trial work yesterday when a lady passed me in her car. She then hit her turn signal and turned to the right. Gave me enough time to lay it down at about 25 mph. Ruined my right sock, bike shorts, and right glove. Fortunatley, it was cold, so I had polartec on top. Ground down my derailleur, bar wrap, carbon brake level, and shifters. Overall, not too bad on the equipment.

For the body; gouged the ankle, got a plate sized rash on my calf, got a plate sized bruise and rash on my hip, and my muscles are sore today!

For those asking, the lady stopped and was very helpful. Rules of the road here in CA put me at fault, so I didn't even bother bitching. Also, a guy came out of his house and let me use his bathroom to clean the wounds, hit them with peroxide, and get some antibiotic on them. Even offered to give me a ride home. Samaritan's are not gone!

Still going to try to race on Sunday. We'll see.
