Holy cow.

I'm glad you and your DH are okay, maybe a little banged up.

What a horrible day. I hope things are better for you tomorrow. What a tragedy.

I had kind of a fitful night's sleep, but mentally, I feel much better this morning. It's pouring out, and it will be nice to spend a lazy, rainy day at home. I probably will do some recovery yoga, to help move the stiffness along. It's amazing what Arnica does; my 2 bruises are already decreasing. The scrape on my elbow is a bit smaller, too, but I think that will take a little longer healing time. Apparently, all of the weight training I do and taking Prolia have increased my bone density quite a bit... I hit the ground hard and definitely am fine.
I didn't stay up for the 11 PM news, where one channel was saying they had new information about the driver. Waiting a bit to put the TV on now. I have some paperwork to do, so I can listen and not be totally absorbed by it.
Thank you for all of your kind words. My son and DIL are coming over later, so we will have a quiet, family day.
ETA: We are thinking of doing the ride on our own, in a couple of weeks. It's not out in the middle of nowhere, so no need for rest stops, etc. for food. And, if there's another mechanical, well, it's not that far from home that someone couldn't come get us. I really wanted to do another century before my 60th birthday and I only have a few weeks. This is the flattest one around!

How awful!

Glad you are basically okay, crankin. Continue to heal up!

What an awful day! Like others have said, I hope you continue to recover well!

I am, however, wondering what in the world is going on with drivers. There have been so many hit and runs and other driver assaults on cyclists in my local area that it is becoming more than a little worrisome. As a society, we have to do something. I don't know what, but something.

That had to have been a horrible day. Hope you get better, and the families get some justice. It even made the Paper here in Albany(via AP) http://www.timesunion.com/default/ar...ge-4832985.php

It's all over the local news this morning, that one of the victim's husband is telling the reporters that the police are treating this as "a criminal investigation."
Gee, how surprising.

Sounds to me like you're taking good care of yourself. Glad you're back in the saddle too. I hope I'm doing centuries when I'm 59--you're an inspiration!!

I'm fine.
Helped lead a 40 mile fast ride today.
I'm exhausted, but it's a good exhausted.
