Thanks for sharing. What an experience!

It would make for a wicked drinking game if you had to take a shot for every fistbump

Hello tar, meet The Ouzo.

Hello The Ouzo, meet the tar.

0/10, would not recommend.

 

Nasty gash on my fore head. Will need to replace my helmet.

Nasty roasty on the knee cap with bruising.

Stuffed up a rib, not sure how bad yet, suspect just cartilage.

left arm has some swelling near the elbow, hopefully its just bruising, but my pinky had no feeling when I continued riding.

 

Bike is ok, some very minor scratches.

 

I'm sure this happened because I just put on new bar tape, the universe wont allow perfect bar tape

I'm still ok to ride. Finished my ride this morning, will probably jump on the bike tomorrow morning.

 

I say that now, we'll see later in the day when aches and pains start.

Take it easy, had the same expectations after a crash. Felt ok, that afternoon couldn't get off the couch. 2 broken ribs and bone bruising on my hip.

Hope the bike is ok!

For most people, the longest distance is between their couch and kilometre 001.

Not for me. I find that distance between my bed and km 001 to be a million miles long.

Gotta work on that, Sweetie. It'll be even tougher from under the cozy warmth of your duvet cover in the heart of winter on those cold dark mornings. 💋
