This morning I had my first crash. It was very windy and wet. Ten miles in on a mild downhill curve at about 28 mph, my traction let go. I watched my Y-Foil skitter across an intersection while I was busy burning a hole in the side of my tights.

After all of the fixating I have done over almost invisible scratches on my bike, I surprising don't feel so bad about the massive gashing on my drive side shifter, pedal and rear derailer. I guess it's because I know I got them while "in action" rather than knocking the bike over in the garage.

I'll probably reevaluate riding on wet days though.
