crashed!

Allezgirl, I will add that the guardian angels were with you. If we had to read about another crash am happy to read about a crash and NO broken bones, but sliding 25 feet. WOW! Right after my downfall I thought I only had some road rash and said I can deal with that as long as nothing is broken, but as you know I was wrong.

I hope you are not hurting too badly, but also glad you bike is doing ok.

OMG! Just got here and saw this... sooooooo glad you're OK other than the road rash... yikes! take good care of that rash so it doesn't get infected... I think anyone who has gone downhill fast has had at least one close call if not an actual crash... glad, glad, glad you are replacing that helmet!!! and that the bike is OK too... you know you're a bike junkie with a bad habit when checking the BIKE after a crash becomes a priority!

heal well...

Thanks for all the well wishes and great tips! I was telling the story to a friend of mine, and his response was "I think a woman with road rash is sexy" Only a cyclist.....

Runnergirl: I printed out the Ultimate Road Rash Guide and am fowarding it to another friend who is recovering from a bad wreck (he was hit by a car) and to our club webmaster to post on our club website. That's some great info!

Latelatebloomer: I will check with American Express, it's a long shot, but I haven't even paid for them yet! I think the demise of my new knickers bothers me more than anything else!

I haven't had a chance to go over my bike with a fine tooth comb since my friends really wouldn't let me spend to much time concentrating on it...but I will look it over more tonight...I can't wait to pick it up. I miss her! But at least I know she's in good hands, I think I trust my wrench more than my pediatrician! (hmmm..."she", I guess that answers that question...now I need to name her)

So pleased you had the bike Goddess watching over you and She gave you a reminder and no more
Heal well

This thread particularly caught my attention cause my 12 year old crashed on Sunday in a race we had all enetered various lengths of... so scarey and unnerving when one of your babies gets hurt... luckily no broken bones...

So pleased you are ok too, Allez...
