I'm fine, lucky I was wearing my heavy winter gear as padding. The bike suffered some minor damage. My new B17 is scratched up and my bar tape is ripped a bit. My rear derailleur took a whack and shifted funny for a few seconds but it functioned perfectly the last few miles to work so I'm thinking it's ok. I guess I'll be investing in some 29er studded tires for next season.
