That sounds a lot like my one and only crash. I couldn't even tell there was anything loose on the road. It happens so fast, doesn't it?
You might want to take an Advil because things will probably hurt more later. But then it gets better!'02 Eddy Merckx Fuga, Selle An Atomica

Yes, it happens WAY too fast. Funny thing is that my helmet never touched the ground, I skid all the way on my belly.

Oh no! Loose gravel always worries me when I'm out on my bike. Take care of yourself and heal quickly!

Sending healing energy your way. Road rash hurts! Hope nothing is broken!

The good news is there are no broken ribs or bones. The bad news is it hurts just as much as if they were, but the good news again is that bruises heal quicker than bones.
The road rash hurts like the dickens and it hurts to cough, sneeze, blow your nose or breath deep, but the Dr. gave me some stronger pain med than Advil. Took my first vicaden ever, think I'm going to take a nap....zzzz...Bike Writer

Glad nothing is broken. Take good care of yourself. My experience is that road rash takes energy to heal. Naps, good food & hydration, etc.

Bikewriter, so glad it isn't any worse! That was quite the crash. Take care and heal fast. Hope it isn't too long before you are back in the saddle. Originally Posted by Bike Writer

Just throwing it out there - not so much for the OP, but just as a warning in general. I had a friend help take care of a burn on my arm once and she put it on without telling me what it was. So. Itchy. I had no idea (at the time) that sulfa was in over-the-counter products. Originally Posted by Muirenn

I know I don't have a sulfa allergy, but my sister does. She had a very nasty reaction as a youngster. Originally Posted by jessmarimba
