Deng it! After being demoralized last week by riding with dudes way out of my league, it was going to be my first team training ride where I got to do the dropping. Thanks to Garry's leadout and attacking Richard's breakaway, I won the sprint at the top of Foothill and finally got to do my first salute. I was even planning to go for the win at the town-line sprint. But then...
Stupid rookie mistake. We were in a paceline and I went to get a
drink with one hand on the handlebars. Don't know if I was coming up
too fast or there was a slow down in the front, but all I remember was
steering to the left to avoid hitting the person in front. Once I
grabbed the front brake, it was game over.
Ended up looking up and found I was lying on the double yellow line of the highway with one car barley missing me and another one coming. Holy crap was I lucky. Got off the road and saw blood coming out of my thumb and blood everywhere. Thanks to all that helped.
Specialized Allez (Dash) is dead :'-(
