31 years road cycling. Finally plowed by a driver.

Started road riding in 1987. Never in my life have I ever gone down for any reason (MTB is another matter). I was 15 miles into a ride this morning on a rural highway out in the country with no traffic. Suddenly I looked up and I was on a stretcher getting loaded into an ambulance. A 93 year old lady plowed me, she said her side mirror hit me. I don't remember it, but if she was coming up behind me I know I would have moved over to the side. My left back shoulder, leg and ankle are messed up but nothing broken so I got very lucky. My brand new $100 bibs are destroyed. I haven't seen my bike yet, it's at the police station. It's an '86 Centurion LeMans, not worth a ton of money so if it's destroyed it's not a big loss.

Just wanted to advertise it.
