I was on the Litespeed.
I was about 1/2 mile north of Floral City on my way back to Inverness. It started sprinkling so I started "sprinting" trying to beat the rain. My cleat somehow came unclipped and the bike veered to the right, off the trail and into the leaves. I started skidding and the bike slipped out from under me. The next thing I knew I was on the ground. I managed to get up, pick up the bike, and then slowly started riding north toward Inverness. It started raining when I was about a mile from Hernando. I rode back to the apartment in the rain (~3 miles).
After I got back to the apt I got out my 5 mm allen and straightened the brifter. When I'm a little less sore (tomorrow or Friday?) I'll be checking over the bike.
