Well, I took my poor new bike back into the LBS and got it checked out - unfortunately the rim of my front wheel is bent so I need a new rim

The good news is most of the rest of the damage is easily reparable - Chris is going to do a thorough crash assessment, just to make sure nothing else went wrong, and if my ankle is up for riding on Sunday, I can have the bike back all fixed up almost good as new, with a loaner wheel.

I had to put up with a little good-natured ribbing (e.g. "better order 2 dozen rolls of that dark red bar tape Ann likes - at this rate who knows how fast we'll be going though it!")

Now I just have to get the ankle back in shape.

CC - those racer boys show up at the worst times!
