Sorry to hear about your crash and glad you weren't hurt too bad :-( Road conditions can be deceptive. I avoid dirt/sand like the plague. Wet/water is also challenging. Congrats on the 5 day straight commuting, though. You are off to a good start there. Don't forget to take days off. I often take Wednesday off and then I am ready for a weekend ride instead of needing both Saturday and Sunday to recover.
