Hit by a car...damn...Orbea frame cracked...

I'm fine, so I guess there's a good ending to this, but I got hit by a car yesterday, and my prized Orbea Orca frame was cracked on the seat tube. Front wheel hoop, Rolf Prima Elan Aero, bent beyond repair (hopefully Rolf can rebuild/hubs are fine), one bent Speed Stix skewer on the rear wheel.

Totally sucks, but it sounds like Calfee can repair it, for significantly cheaper than a new frame...

Happened the day before my birthday, to boot, but I guess being relatively unharmed is a good thing...but it sucks because its my week off, I was planning rides for every day, finihsing off with the Civil War Century on Saturday. I am currently visiting friends in Westchester NY, but once I get home on Friday, I will have my steel road bike to do the Civil War Century, at least.
