    Oh girl, did you have a nasty fall!! Your poor body....and head....and BIKE! I'm glad you weren't injured worse and that you are back in the saddle again. Are you eyeing another crit in the near future?

    I was reading Lance Armstrong's War and during one of the TDF's there were 99 crashes at the beginning of the race.

    Thanks for all of your thoughts and kind words.

    It was great to see you at the track Laurie - sorry it took me a minute to put you and Bouncy together - head injury you know......

    No - no crits on this schedule - going to Atlanta to the **** Lane Velodrome this weekend for training on the banked track - I also do track racing - oh $hit - no brakes and this is safer than a crit????

    Regarding insurance - b/c the bike was a year old I DROPPED the policy weeks before the crash - oh darn......I just got the crash replacement 20% discount from Orbea - not too great a deal. As I said though - I did save a few bits from the original bike.

    I think that rather than having someone in my derailleur - cause I would have known that - I may have had a mechanical to lock the rear - or had a blow-out - who knows?????

    Next up for me is ???? But I can't stop racing. I did a group practice on the track yesterday and did not feel sketchy in the tight paceline. I have gone out four days in a row this week and feel ok - trying to get that fitness back.

    Debi-

    Glad to hear you're back in the saddle and not spooked!!!

    Sucks about the insurance, though.

    Have fun in Atlanta!
