there was a big crash at the front on the last lap of tour of murrieta cat5A this morning (in the middle of the back straight which is long and wide and should not cause any crashes). i was sitting toward the back minding my own business and see the crash up front and have plenty of time and room to ride around it when some dude decides to swerve right into me. kuota frame is broken on top tube and seat tube. I hit my right leg above the knee on a mailbox post... but otherwise no other scratches at all. my leg/knee appears to be bruised but still fully functional so i consider myself very lucky. My knee got slightly hyperextended so it is a little sore at the moment. I was not able to start the 5B race due to my bike and I doubt if I will bother going back for the cat5A tomorrow.

Most of the cat5 riders today really should practice in some group rides before they enter another race.

(I was going somewhere between 29.5mph and 7mph when I crashed)
