Was a nice morning and 53F. Barely perceptable rain on the way in. Unfortnately, I fell in Central Park going down the hill (Harlem Meer) before the turnoff onto the side road. My front wheel was on the white paint and the very light rain made it a bit slick. Front wheel slid over and that was it. I fell on my left leg so it looks a bit ugly. But got two scrapes on my right arm as well. The bike seemed ok. So hope there's no other issue with it. A runner mentiond to watch out for the white paint but was a bit late on that. I've seen others fall on wet white paint so I think I'm in good company. Nothing broken as far as I can tell. So knock on wood! I will need to replace my baselayer, gloves, and knee covers, though. Ripped a good hole into all of them...
