Today was my ride fast to work day, I usually just cruise in, made it in record time. 36 minutes moving time for 11 miles. Doing my cool down lap around the parking lot stared off into space looking towards the building and came back to reality about 2 feet before a big concrete island in the parking lot.
Braked and swerved mostly around but the angle was too much and I went down. Couple gashes on the right leg but the bike is ok. Overflowing arkel panniers took the initial blow and came out without a scratch.
Overall it was a great ride. The looks I got walking to my desk. It isn't as if I was dripping blood on the floor people!
