Well, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. Happened at 6AM this morning. Road was wet this morning with the rain. It wasn't at the time of the crash. I was making right turn. I guess I carried too much speed. If I had to guess I'd guess maybe 15 km/h. I felt the rear sliding. Then it was just a big blur. I went over sideways, landing on my right elbow first, then hip. Fortunately no cars behind me. Quickly collected bike and got off the road. Quick check of the body. Nothing broken. Sat on the steps of that house and contemplated my options. At this point I was only about 15 minutes from home and about 40 minutes from work. Decided to head home, but after pedaling for two minutes and everything felt fine I turned around and headed to work.

The elbow and hip is sore. I had some trouble riding home, but after about 20 minutes I guess the muscles warmed up.

Not a catastrophic crash, but nonetheless the feeling was almost surreal. Scary feeling that moment you're in the precipice of falling and there isn't a darn thing to do about it. I feel lucky. Lesson learned--slow way down when road is wet.
