For some strange reason, I seem to crash a lot ... or at least, a lot more than I'd like to. Let's see here:

August 1991 - hit the wheel in front of me and slid through a massive mud puddle ... on my face. Some road rash.

June 1997 - hit the wheel in front of me and landed on my left ribs, cracking them.

Summer 1999 - three clipless pedal crashes. Funny thing though, the first time I landed on my left knee and a little lump came up. The second time I landed on the same left knee ... and the little lump vanished!! The third time I landed on my right hip - brusing.

Sept 2003 - crashed at the top of a hill in England, still have the scar on my right elbow, lots of bruising - my loaded touring bicycle landed on top of me.

January 1, 2004 - slid on ice, landed on left knee, broke the bursa, bruising and swelling right into my foot.

December 2004 - crashed going downhill, down a gravel road, still have the scarring all down my left leg. Sprained my left hand.

I'm thinking I've overdue for an accident free year!!
