Stupid crash? Had one this weekend. We were about 60 km into a 200km loop that was the final portion of a 600km brevet on Saturday when I cut a turn too close and my front wheel washed out in some gravel and uneven pavement.

I laid there for a few seconds when I did a quick inventory of the pain. As I realized only my hubris was only bruised, I got up and started checking the bike. I did a quick adjustment or two and started off again when I realized I had ripped the quick release off of my left shoe.

I pulled out some duct tape, did three wraps and was on my way again. It wasn't quite a full "Breaking Away" but I did finish the brevet!
