My last ride last year. Warm November day in Wisconsin, planned on a 25 or so mile ride. Hit debris in the road as I was coming through town, right in front of the local Perkins restaurant. My wheel went right, I went straight. Hit the pavement on my left side. Helmeted head bounced twice, left side of my body kind of felt like an internal explosion inside. Broken clavicle, broken hip. Total hip replacement. Just now getting back outside on the nicer days to ride. I do have about 150 miles riding the bike to nowhere in the garage, tho. Yeah, I was gawking around is why I didn't see the debris.
