Road Rashhhhh!

Last night I went for a bike ride after work ....

I was planning on going 30 miles today but ....

13 miles out I'm following a group of guys at and avg speed of 20 mph. We made a right turn and I hit a bit of sand ....

I hit my brakes but it was to late, I go sliding off on my right side about 10 feet using my face and my knee as brake pads.

The bike is ok, w/ minor scratchs on the rear derailer, pedal, and handle bar. My body took the rest of the punishment.

I

like to tell people "I joined a bicycle fight club and you should see how messed up the road is." I figure if I smile it won't look as bad = )

I'm just glad this happened after my triathlon, Have a good weekend ... and watch out for sand.
