The good news is the frame's not bent, the wheels are both true and my most pristine Brooks Team Pro remains pristine. Usually you'll grind off a corner of your saddle in a crash like this, but ultimately, the bike ended up on top of me.
Tim,
Such excellent reflexes to save the saddle, frame and wheels, at the cost of considerable body damage. Congratulations, in a weird way, that you saved your Cochlear device! One of my hearing aids popped out when I fell on your Hurricane Ridge ride years ago. Didn’t realize it was gone until much later. It’s up there on the shoulder somewhere.
