Rain + steep, blind & left hand corner + 30+ MPH + rear wheel locking up = wipeout of sorts.  Just a few scrapes & a busted helmet.

Eek, glad you're ok!

Awesome job ab and definitely keep it up! It really is amazing how quickly you can get into shape just by pedaling around a bit. Just gotta stick with it through the first painful week.

Good to know you're ok man! I did almost the same thing a couple weeks ago, tucked the front chasing a car... in the rain... down a tar snake strewn street... ~whistles innocently~
Somegirl has just stopped giving me shit for it.

I am good to go.  The minor amount of road rash is healing pretty good.

Headed to Tahoe for my first century in 10 days.   

  glad you're okay.

I've broken a few helmets (mountain biking mostly).
A bit less than ideal.

Bike okay?

As far as I know, Randy was not chasing a car.

Let's not assume what we don't know.         

Fresh, bike rode good the 25 miles after the wreck.  No visible damage 'cept for a torn saddle.  It's at Full Cycle getting a once over, just to be safe.

And no, I wasn't chasing anyone.  Although I did want to chuck my water bottle at the old lady who stopped behind me, but offered no assistance as I laid in a heap on the road.
