Knock on wood, 2011 has been good to me. Those boo-boo's will heal fast and the scars will give you stories to tell your kids for years to come. How's that for a positive spin on things? Glad to see you are back on the bike (based on your most recent post).KC (my 140 point 6 mile journey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05183039121953689933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425340098357325493.post-7025313575083592052011-06-17T23:08:20.606-04:002011-06-17T23:08:20.606-04:00Scary!

There is a little bit of cosmetic damage on the handlebars, but no fractures in the frame at all. The wheels are also alright. <br /><br />Time to get right back out there in hit the pavement again (this time in a good way!)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837974906193121567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425340098357325493.post-24212003792586712702011-06-14T06:53:53.571-04:002011-06-14T06:53:53.571-04:00Wow.

In my last crash (several years ago, knock on wood) I broke my left collarbone and my right thumb - and needed surgery on both! <br /><br />I'm with some of the others - thoroughly check out the bike and helmet to make sure they are OK!TriMadness!

That was the first thing I checked when I crashed last season...right before I fell back over realizing that I couldn't see straight and had landed hard enough on my head to crack my helmet. Kinda ironic the PSA about paying attention to a well known route. 5mile loop I've logged far too many miles on, and today I hit a manhole cover I know is there at 30 in aero...

I recommend to have someone check out your bike for microfractures in the carbon, especiallu the fork - you really don't want it to fail on another ride.
