I was going south on Wisc. Ave. when around the 2700 blk., my front tire fell into a spot of warn away asphalt. This caused me to fly over the front of my handlebars head first and break my wrist. They are going to tell me wednesday, if I will need surgery.:cry:

I have had a lot of surgery, and don't want any more.:cry:

....my front tire fell into a spot of warn away asphalt....

They don't call it "warn away" asphalt for nothing!

Get well soon.

Thanks, I hope the roads in the Carolinas aren't in as bad a shape as DC.

tuck and roll, never put your hand out to break your fall...I know, it's easier said than done...
