Awesome race ride today. Real fun dynamic riding, attacks, responses, wind etc. Got popped on a small riser after having to personally cover two huge moves after just coming off the front. Jumping at speeds greated than 30mph is fun, but a weakness of mine.
Well the ride was awesome till I popped off and then hit a pot hole about 1 mile from the end, snapped my handle bars and crashed. Or at least I think that's what happened. It was a small pot hole, it should not have caused me to crash. I distinctly remember my hand plunging down towards my wheel right before I hit the concrete, so I'm guessing the bar snapped and... good luck keeping a bike up after that. Some decent road rash, but no broken bones and not even a scrape on my helmet. I'll need a new RD, handle bars and probably right shifter. Might use this an excuse to buy the new bike I've been wanting.
Crunchy carbon fiber under the bar tape, guess I get to break out the breathing mask and safety glasses to tear that apart tomorrow.
