I was going to post about my rules for a safe and efficient paceline, as well as etiquette, but instead, I'm just going to put up pictures of my sweet new road rash. It's been a couple months since my last crash, so here we go.
Four points of contact, knee, hip, elbow and shoulder. My front wheel dipped into a sink hole that I couldn't see and it just decided to stop. I flew over the bars at over 25 mph and hit the ground, dragging my bike after me. My water bottles went flying past my head and as I unclipped I slid onto my back and skidded for 27 seconds before coming to a stop. Sweet. I stood up and cussed, only to see a woman with her kids standing across the street asking if I was okay. Thankfully, I was, and am, and only have lost skin and shredded clothing to show for it. Well, we'll see whats wrong with my bike tomorrow.
