went out this afternoon on a trail north of orlando just after a lightning storm so was not 95 degrees for once and oh my! what a difference when the temp is just in the 80's - was doing great and was in the rhythm.... 13 miles in 45 mins, which is great for me..
so all going great until a black mercedes came around the wrong side of a one way exit that crossed the trail and i had to emergency stop and crashed on the road - just crashed myself and not the car-- he didnt even pause so dont think he even saw me even crash... brakes jamming and handlebars at an unusual angle, leg bleeding, i slowly biked back to car and to bike shop... they fixed brakes and handlebar in 20 seconds flat-- left it with them to check over though...
was so relieved i had my cellphone on me and my hemlet on, in case it had been worse... bet my leg is going to be soooo bruised tomorrow!!
all's well that ends well tho' :-)
