    ouch! Slow mo crash!

    Going up a steep hill, chain comes off, get caught between the gear and the wheel,chain doesn't move,pedales don't move. Fall to side of road down rocky slope orrrr fall on the road? I choose the road. For some reason I panicked and couldn't unclip. It was all very slow it seemed. Once I hit my main concern was getting out of the road in case a car came. I hit my arm on a rock when I went down and almost instantly my arm went numb! That was way wierd! And I kinda wanted to cry. See when I first started out today I had a car full of teenage boys drive by me really close and honk to scare the cr*p out of my. I did yell as*h*les at them. then my stupid not even two year candie pedal is not working right and doesn't let me clip in unless I get off my bike and move it to a certain position. So when my chain came off and I fell I was almost at my witts end you know? And I ride to help with stress?
    Now my arm is really sore as well as my neck and hip. I will probabaly feel it more tomorrow.
    I had a better ride on my scooter to farmers market later in the afternoon. I also treated myself to "green "Dragon" tea drink. It's Iced green tea,honey,cream de mint and soy milk. So I am feeling a little less wounded now. But my body still hurts.
