oops.

i crashed again.

so today I dropped my car off at Progressive Auto Care for it's regular oil change. I had this brilliant plan to bike home from the shop, shower, bike back and then head out to my 3:30 haircut appointment. I dropped off the car, hopped on my trusty Trek and made it about 4 blocks from my house when I flatted. Not cool. Especially since I had just flatted last Tuesday. I decided that since I was so close to home I would ride the rest of the way on the flat and fix it at home. (The wheel had a little air left in it). I made it about 2 more blocks and then turned right.

Turning right on the flat was not a good idea. When I turned, my tire was forced to twist off my rim and run right into the brake. Even though I was only moving at about 10 mph, the sudden stop threw me from the bike and into the road. I now have two larger patches of road rash on my right leg and I also managed to tear the bike shorts.

I also had to walk back to Progressive to pick up my car...It felt like a 30 min walk of shame all the way down Laurpenter. I think I was still bleeding. :o(

now off to brits for wind-independence!
