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.
I feel your pain. I destroyed my beloved Bianchi a few years ago by doing something similar. I crashed into a curb, endo'ed, and ended up on my back with my bike lying in two pieces a few feet away. Glad you're okay.

My ride today was just about perfect. Got out early and took the 20 mile detour to work. Light traffic, light wind, blue skies. I love May in NorCal.
