Bike and I are both okay, thanks! A bit of mud ground into the handlebars is all. It didn't actually hurt. I had just come out of a difficult corner and was relaxing when I hit a mud patch. Fortunately I was not going very fast, and just kind of slid gently into the mud. I'm tickled that the photographer got such a dramatic shot out of it, though.It cracks me up.
I did go down later in the race on my left side (that hurt!) and now have a big bruise on my thigh to show for that one.... :P Good luck, bluebug! You will have so much fun.
