    ooooer AllezGirl!

    While I was reading your story, my husband asked if I was okay - when I looked at him puzzled, he said "you're frowning and sucking through your teeth" I guess I was feeling your pain

    I don't do fast descents, I hate downhill, now I remember why

    Take good care of yourself

    Update:

    I picked up my bike last night and she is working fine! There's not a scratch on the frame, but the heads of my Ultegra shifters are pretty mangled, the point on the right one is sheared clean off! But, it's really starting to sink in how lucky I really am...two days later I'm really not that sore, unless I bump into something. According to my computer, I was going 33 mph when I went down. Not my top speed, but pretty close. I think I will give up on the idea of trying to "beat" it for now, or at least only speed down hills that I know REALLY well! I picked up a new helmet last night, so I'm ready to get back in the saddle...I may be going to the "She's Got Bike" expo in Maryland. Is anyone else going to that?

    On a lighter note...my knuckles on both hands are scraped up and one is swollen...today, at the grocery store, the cashier said "I'd sure hate to see the other guy" I guess he thought I was in a bar fight or something!

    AllezGirl-

    Glad you're recovering! I got a laugh out of the above - when I had my wisdom teeth taken out, my face turned black and blue. A clerk in Wal Mart took me aside and told me that I really should get help and leave the b$%@#$*&. A nice gesture (and I certainly don't mean to trivialize the experiences of the real survivors out there), but I got a great laugh out of it!
