Wow, Miranda...so sorry to hear about your crash. It sounds awful but from it seems like it could have turned out a lot worse. I'm glad to hear that your bike doesn't have any wounds!I hope you feel better soon.

Aw (((((((Miranda))))))) that s*cks. Hope you heal up quick. Use plenty of Traumeel, and don't feel bad about resting - pain is exhausting. Your training plan right now is rest and heal.

YIKES!! I am so glad you are up and about although it sounds like you need some time to heal and pull together your inner spirit. I really think dog owners should be more responsible, but out here, we get chased on just about all our rides. I hate being chased by dogs

Man some people should not own dogs!! I'm so sorry you were hurt, especially like that. I'm sending quick healing vibes!

Owie!
Man that sucks Miranda!
Eventually you'll get to the place where you've got this behind you and are working hard training for your next century. Certainly you're body bruises will heal long before your bruised ego......we all remember our first crash! Sounds like you are one lucky gal to live to tell the tale!
Heal fast girl and remember there will be other century rides!Life is like a 10 speed bike, we all have gears we never use.

MIranda, I wish you were in better shape, but I'm really glad your bike's okay. I think you should possibly keep that handlebar tape - it looks pretty hardcore.
I hope you heal quickly!

I'm glad you walked away from that crash at all.
What happened to the dog? (And yeah, the owner is an idiot.)

agh
Miranda,
I'm sorry your bike season has ended abruptly.
Please take the time to be gentle & heal in your own time.
You'll be back on your bike but don't rush into it.
Take care of that noodle!
