Maybe you ARE klutz, but if you love doing it, who cares! Keep it up. I know it took you a while to get comfy after your accident last year, but if you still love it after yesterday, then heal fast and keep it up! I play softball, and I'm pretty agressive at it (nothing gets past me - even if that means knocking the ball down with my face!). Several people tell me I should give it up, that i'm getting too old for these games, and I should live more safely. Well, forget them!
Mental note about what went wrong, try to avoid it in the future without letting it interfere with your rides. I went down last year on a mud slick I didn't see hidden by a shadow under a bridge after a storm - I was going about 26 mph, and slid about 40 feet. I still "flinch" when I happen upon a trail underpass that parallels a creek for fear that mud is going to be there, and I slow down. I work on getting over that by hauling *** down them when there hasnt been a storm and I'm pretty certain it's clear.
