I went out this morning around 8:30 .The temperature was 53 and so I wore the long bike pants. It was a good idea as I later found out. There was a fine mist of rain; the type that you don’t see much of anymore. I love riding in weather like this. At one point I was making a sharp turn and the bike went out from under me on the wet ground. I was not travelling fast. The bike was fine but I landed on my left arm and leg. I later found that I had slightly skinned them both. Had it been summer and I'd been wearing shorts and a t-shirt it would have been worse. Of course, had it been summer the ground would have been dry and I probably wouldn't gone down. I was a bit sore but nothing was damaged too much. My left wrist is a bit strained. That's the one that I keep injuring. A couple of Ibuprofin seems to have helped.

I was sore enough to pack it in and headed home. The fun of the ride had left me for the moment. . I am very careful when it comes to leaves but was fooled by the wet ground. It should be dry and I should be healed by the time Tuesday rolls around.
