How did the drive react? (Or do you have any memory of that.)

Prayers ascending!

Actually I do remember the reaction - once I got up off the pavement. She (it was a gal), kept saying she was sorry and didn't see me. I honestly did believe her, I didn't think she was making it up. Then again, if she had looked, she would have seen me, she just didn't.

Every day, I'm getting a little better, though admittedly my anxiousness to ride again is far outpacing my recovery
