Way to keep going! I promise your next organized ride will be less eventful (I hope)! Cyclists are nice people aren't they?We've all been there.
My husband says my specialty is wiping out in front of large groups of other cyclists. I've never seriously hurt myself, but I now know to fall left so I don't bend my derailleur (Lightning's first visit back to the LBS for his tune up--"Um, has you're bike been--on the ground?" Yes, thank you for asking
PS. You might have your bike checked over to make sure you didn't damage anything. Better than getting stuck on the side of the trail on your next ride.

Thankfully it didn't fall over on the right side - the only thing damaged was my water cage & rode for 10-11 miles right after it happened, and another 9 yesterday. Thankfully I did need to go to the LBS yesterday to have them check out a saddle problem and they said the bike looked fine

Oh well, it is a small price to pay for having learned the valuable lesson of the treacherous nature of gravel....
