**** happens. I can fix it so it's no biggie.

Oddly enough it was my second mishap of the day - I completely bailed as I arrived at Humber. There's a dirt service road leading from the Humber trail up to the back end of one of the parking lots on campus ... I was riding up it w/ slicks and sitting down to keep the rear wheel from going. I picked a ****ty line at one point and dropped in and out of a big erroded rut. That was all it took to pop my front wheel right up into the air and send me toppling over sideways, at which point I got a nice bloody "bear claw" wound from my chainring. Of course I ended up walking into class (guest speaker day) late, filthy and bleeding.

Edit: Hahaha, I just stabbed myself in the ass with a cactus. That's it, I'm done for the day. Someone put me in my protective bubble.
