I found myself on the ground ten days ago, in a heavy rain, after hitting a puddle-obscured pothole. I know every puddle hides a pothole and still managed to hit one. It's my own damn fault.

Landed on the right shoulder. Hit it pretty hard. For the first week it felt wrong, with lots of "snap crackle pop" sounds and sensations. I'm 39 and this is the worst I've hurt myself as an adult.

I got some nice pictures taken with my alter ego, Spooky Mr. Skellington. Nothing is broken and they say the AC joint is not torn. Lucky. I'm already back on the bike every day. It is finally starting to feel more normal again...

Stay upright, y'alls.
