Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Two great things about crashing in the fall

1. Wearing tights, gloves, wool socks and a long-sleeved jersey limited the road rash to a small patch on my chin and a little crescent on my (still very painful) shoulder

2. Just think how much worse a spring crash would have been. At least this way I won't miss a huge chunk of prime biking season.

I got a bone bruise on my hip and road rash on my elbow from falling earlier in the week.. I can't walk so I waddle like a penguin, but I seem to be good for riding
