When I left home this morning it just started to rain and while walking to the garage I thought I may use the wet weather Marin and take it easy. But when I got the door open and saw the Bianchi sparkling at me it just had to be Trixie the fixie for the commute. Decided I had to go for it to hopefully beat the rain. After about 4 miles I reached a slight incline that I like to use for a bit of flat out stand up sprint training all was going well, feeling good and must of been at the crest probably doing 30mph when my right foot pulled out of the SPD and I went flying over the bars with the bike following me. Took a while to gather my thoughts and catch my breath but I am not too bad. Shoulder was and still is very painfull, hip is very bruised and I am developing a right shinner. More to the point the bike will be Ok, front wheel a bit buckled, my nice new roubaix bar tape ripped and the seat has a bit of gravel rash. I was so lucky if my left foot had come out I would have ended up laying in the road in front of the oncoming traffic, does not bear thinking about what could have happened.
