    I'm ok

    I'm fine, no more than bumps and bruises. Nothing to heal other than a few stiff muscles. Thanks for the concern though!

    The insurance should cover the bike b/c the driver was at fault for not stopping (she actually got a ticket too). I was hoping that just the deraillieur hanger had been bent, but it turns out the whole frame was torqued. Pretty impressive, it was a ti frame. I guess parking a car on it isn't a good idea.

    Anyone have suggestions on a good high-end women's race bike? I looked at the Scott Contessa CR1 Pro today and liked it.

    I'm glad that you're OK and able to joke about it.

    I once traded in a car rather than pay to get the AC fixed.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Got a new bike...

    Well, I pick up the new bike today!!! I ended up with the Scott Contessa CR1 Pro. Dura Ace components and a set of Kysrium wheels that I'm going to auction off.

    The settlement for the accident went very smoothly--they covered the entire cost of the bike as well as an injury settlement and it was handled within a week.

    I'm excited, tomorrow I can go back up Mt. Lemmon with the team. I'm aiming for Pallisades this time and next week its all the way to the top. In the end, the accident didn't take too much away from training time--which is good, b/c I start working with my coach this week.

    I'm glad I'm riding with the team though b/c I'm still a bit nervous on the road where I got hit.

    Thanks again for everyones support!

    I'm sorry to hear about the run-in w/ a car. What a bummer. Thank goodness your o'k and were able to settle without huge hassles. When you have time post a pic of your new bike.
