Pinvin - short and sweet.... 15 miles or so in and settled into a chasing group, hit a greasy spot on a fast ish LH bend and down we goes.
Scrapes to body and bike. My bony shoulder survived but has a massive contusion that is restricting movement a bit - but it is not broken.
Road rash on hip needs a huge wound pad to cover it!
2 weeks to next race - we shall how the pain subsides.
The fun part is that I have 5 spin classes to lead, starting to morrow night!
Yippee.. show me the money!
Have had to mull over why my accident happened when the front wheel washed out.
I had gone from the start and built up a gap and was bridged to by a team buddy. That gap lasted 7 or 8 miles but eventually chased down by someone who was racing out of category. In my opnion if you race out of category - especially if you are younger! you do not initiate chase downs or drive the bunch back.
When the bunch passed a group of 6 went through.
When I came down I was doing my damndest to get back to this group again. Probably fully anaerobic, my judgement for a dodgy corner was lax and my speed was excessive.
I admit my fault at the end of the day - but - still not happy!
