Well - I had my first unclipping fall today! Due to life's craziness, I haven't had the chance to ride in a month.

I had a feeling I was going to fall today. Well - 8.5 miles into my ride I came up to a stop sign. The car in front of me was stopped. I came to a stop behind the car and didn't unclip because I expected him to go. Well... he didn't go. In a split second I thought "hmmm, I'm not going to be able to hold this balance on a stopped bike for long, so unclip". I got the right foot out and came crashing down on my left side. Wow that is a really stupid feeling.

My left foot did come unclipped at some point, just a bit too late. I have two really nice gashes on my right shin from the chainring. That's going to feel good in the shower. I continued my loop instead of going straight home - I had to hit at least 10 miles. I hit the house at 11 miles and now I'm heading to clean this beauty up. What fun!
