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.
We must have been a short distance behind you it started to sprinkle on us just as we left Hamptons Edge bike shop in Floral City. Glad you are OK and hope the bike was not damaged.
