Thanks everyone!
Helmet was fine as I didn't hit my head. Mostly my left side.
I think my roller crash in the basement was worse, but we'll see how sore I am in the morning before making that statement.

Glad you are okay! Garmins are great, in interesting ways sometimes.

Glad you're okay.

Oh, my! Mr. I'm so glad that you are ok! Be sure to let SR500 doctor you up.
OH, it's pains me to think of the Madone scuffed up. Make sure it gets some extra good TLC, too.

glad to see that you are able to post on same day. WOW WEEE ZOWEEE!!!
proper question: Is your bike okay?? followed by and how about you??
Well you've answered both. And yes you'll probably be bit more sore than today but in all honesty, I'm really relieved to see you are okay.
You had total of 5 stops according to your Garmin? Last one was bit abrupt to say the least. Anyway, nice to see you posting and doing okay. No SHEET TIME OKAY!!!
take care,

Glad to hear you are okay! I've been there before and it is a very scary experience. It took me a little while to get back on my back but I sure am happy I did

Sorry to hear about the crash.
Impressive screen shot, however.

Glad you are doing okay. It is horrible when you know you are going to hit a car. It's that moment when you know you've done everything to avoid the collission, but it is going to happen anyway!
