Subject: RE: Crashed on the bike today Welcome to the road rash club! Two weeks ago I managed to crash with 10 km to go on a 134 km ride, on the only traffic-free, smooth and clean stretch of road in the city and quite possibly the country (hit a tree branch as I was reaching for my water bottle and lost control ). I had you way beat in the road rash/brusing department and trashed a pair of shorts, but no damage to bike or more than superficial damage to me. Then the ultimate fun of racing a tri (ocean swim, no less ) last week with road rash. It was just a sprint--kept thinking about poor Chrissie hauling her scarred body at Kona! |
