DOH! - I fell like a sack of potatoes this morning!

I should have known better! I noticed that my driveway was slick this morning when I took the garbage cans to the curb. I noticed that the DOT trucks were sanding and salting the roads on my commute in to work this morning. I turned into a private community near the end of my commute to work. Well, they don't have town trucks taking care of their private roads. I made a right-hand turn, and before I even realized what was going on, my bike went out from under me and I was skidding along the pavement on my right knee. Ouch, I almost forgot how much abrading the akin off my knee hurts.

I'm basically fine, a little sore. My handle bars were 90* askew. My pride is hurt worse than anything. I walked the last 1/2 mile or so to work. I could have rode, but it felt good to walk it off.

I'll be putting the studded tires on faster than I planned.
