If I'd had a broken hip or collarbone I think I would known that right off. It is a little later when the pain starts to hit from swelling and bruising. I was bleeding pretty good but I knew where the issues were and it all looked like scrapes versus gouges that might need stitches. Fortunately the daughter had wet wipes so I used those to clean out all the skinned places very quickly........except for my hip which I didn't even know there was a good bit of road rash until I had finished the ride........I did have an issue getting the bleeding to completely stopped but did get it under control. I just left the blood streaks in place to help with clotting.

I've been with riders who have had concussions from hitting their head and I felt very clear headed so I guess I quickly gave myself an overall assessment and felt good enough to ride???? Where I work safety is ingrained in our thinking so went through a mental checklist very quickly and deemed myself safe to ride if my bike was okay.

I also didn't have any reservations about taking other curves at a normal speed as I went along so I don't think there will be any lingering effects on being too gunshy. Certainly just respectful and continuing to watch for hazardous situations.
