First Fall of 2008 - Bollard 1, Historian 0
Ah, the first fall of 2008! This afternoon I clipped a bollard crossing Collegeville Road on the Skippack Trail. Fortunately, I tried to put a foot down, which reduced my momentum when I hit the pavement. I landed on both hands and knees, and my long-fingered gloves and tights took the road rash for me. The bike seems to be OK, and I'm fine, although I'm going to feel sore tomorrow. I have some swelling in my right knee, and some sting in my palms.
Despite the fall, I completed 13 miles on the new Skippack Trail network of trails. That's the whole thing, more or less. I got back to my car just as this evening's storm began to move in.
