Anyway, I had a couple of seconds of "Ohhhh shiiii..." and then Wham! onto my right shoulder and hip. Couldn't move my arm for quite awhile, but nothing was broken. Rode home one-handed in one gear. Losing the front wheel pretty much guarantees you are going down hard.

I know you are hurting really bad right now, but am glad you came through okay, and with your motivation intact.
