I was 25.5 miles into the ride, only 4 miles from home, when a Lexus hit me from behind. I'm going to compose a nice long post now and tell all about it. But I still think the arrangement was a good idea - I'm just going to need a week or so to recover. Nothing broken, just a lot of bad bruises.
Bummer...glad you are ok.
