Dog versus cyclist :(

[arielmoon]

BF and I were out for a short ride on Saturday and I was cruising along a bit ahead of him when out of nowhere a dog ran out and hit my front tire. I believe he meant to chase me as he did 3 weeks ago while I was riding with a friend past the same farm. Long story short I had no time to react other than to reach for my brakes before he wiped me out. I fractured my pelvis in 2 places and also my sacrum. OWIE! Doc says no surgery because they are stable but 6-8 weeks recovery.

The dog was fine and the owner started out pretty rude. She asked why I would come down a road when I knew there was a dog that chased bike riders. BF was really ticked off. He rides the same road almost every day and had never seen it before.

I am very fortunate that BF is living with me now and is currently unemployed cause he is having to do everything for me. This could become a problem though if I miss too much work.

Oh and Dara (Trek Madone 5.1) survived with minor scratches to the brake hood and a large scuff mark to my new Selle San Marco saddle I have some road rash on my left side and the worst is my elbow. Somehow my Sheebeast shorts show no signs of anything even though I was scraped up under neath them.
