CRASHED!
So, I was well on my way to hit 18.7mph average 14 miles into my ride, when an SUV/minivan overtook me a bit too close for comfort. I veered to the right instinctively, but went off the road. Next thing I know, I am down on the road bumping and sliding.
Did an assessment to see if anything was broken. Thankfully nothing but road rashes on both knees, left elbow and some on the left shoulder. And the right hand was hurting without any visible damage. And my right calf cramped up as well. Had to sit for a few minutes before i could bend my right leg to get up.
After some more initial body check, including ability to open and close my right hand, got up, picked up my bike, fixed the chain, and finished rest of the ride back home. Still managed 18.4 mph
Quite a few good samaritans stopped to check on me. One cyclist even decided to follow me just to make sure i was ok. God bless him.
Anyway, went to Immediate Care mainly to have my right hand looked at, since that was the one that took the first hit when I fell. They did an x ray and all came out well. Got rest of me patched up while I was there.
Have to stay off the bike for a few days now
