Unbelievable, I am averaging a bike wreck a year now, and I don't like those odds. All in all I was very lucky but what a pisser. I was riding with a group of about 7 and we were on a pretty lousy road. The best that I can remember is reaching up to down shift with my right hand while my left was still on my handle bars. I hit a small pot hole and my handle bars turned to the left and I could not recover and down I went. I scrapped my shoulder, elbow, butt, and knee along my left side. The good news is their is minimal damage to the bike, I rode home, and no broken bones.
The unfortunate thing of it all is Dan Banse was behind me and went over my bike then flew over his handle bars. I hate to think about my responsibility of his accident, I feel terrible for his accident. Luckily he is okay, I am not sure about his bike though, but he rode home as well. Again we were both lucky.
Be careful and keep moving, we may have scrapes, bruises, sprains and breaks but we sure are having fun along the way.

Glad you and Dan are both ok. It could of been a lot worse. Hearing the wreck with the 2 of you behind us; you are lucky, because it sounded like a car skidding off the road.

ouch, glad the bike is ok, is this the new bike? if so, the blog needs a pic of the bike!
Train hard, good luck on the marathon coming up.
At least you didn't go down twice on the same ride. Who said that?
Glad to hear you're ok.
Note to self, ride IN FRONT OF Dave.
