I ran headfirst into the back of a parked SUV a few blocks into my ride while looking at my derailleur trying to figure out what was wrong with the shifting. Called in sick and limped home. "I am an idiot, so I won't be coming in today." I thought I might have broken my neck or concussed myself, but I iced the neck and it's feeling a little better now. Very sore and stiff. Bloodied elbow and knee and a place on my thigh less than an inch from my left testicle. I guess it could have been worst.

Condolences to friends and family of Wouter Weylandt who died yesterday from injuries sustained in a crash in the Giro after he clipped a wall while glancing backwards.
