    Just got my new helmet adjusted. What a pain, but after looking at the gash in my old one, I'd never consider riding without a helmet. Now a date with a cup of hot chocolate, a few more ibuprofen and an early bedtime. Tomorrow will be better. I have a bunch of old photos to retouch. It's tough to do that with a killer headache.

    Thanks for all the good thoughts and hugs. It felt better just to know I had a place to whine where people would understand and not tell me not to ride because cycling is dangerous.

    That's what I love about TE, a place where people "get it"!

    A crash like that is very rare, but happens, just like when you fall walking down stairs. Don't let it stop you! Do take it easy for a bit, though. Sounds like you're hurt. Get a massage in a few days! That will help loosen things up, and help with the bruising.
