Going down the hill at 30mph+/-.... Something slid under my wheel and... I slided down for what seem to be 5 seconds or so... I was able to break fall for majority of it but it did suck.
small bruise and gash on my right arm/big bruises and some blood from upper right thigh. One tight torn... One shoe torn, one smart wool sock torn, one newly bought Gore Phantom jacket's right arm torn... (I wonder if they will just replace right arm for me at whatever cost instead of having to buy new jacket)...
Considering the speed I was going down at, I am glad I came out with minor injury. Kept riding for next 8-9 miles in for work while constantly chastising myself for not being able to recover from that slip while shaken from whole incident was not that cool. I guess I did ride faster than usual though without realizing since I still made the train in time...
