I was going to add a post for yesterday, but I don't see one. So I'll just post what happend to me. I went out to do 25 miles so I could have an even 100 this week. Original goal was 70 but it was grest weather and spring break so I got a little more in.
About 10 miles into the ride I was turning around on a dead end street (exploring) I hit a patch of thick sand on the road and my tires stopped dead and over I tipped. I can't ever unclip as fast as I fall. So I have 2 very sore hips. The one with the bruise and the one that smacked the saddle as I hit the ground. I also have a really swollen, bruised elbow. The good news is I have no holes in my riding jacket or tights.
I got up and went back to riding. I've fallen before and ridden a lot of miles. But then I miscalculated my distance and did 26 miles so my total for the week is 101. There was no way I could ride today. I didn't even feel like walking around the grocery store.
