Craaaaaaaaash!!!!
You should see my left elbow! I had a bike crash yesterday and it wasn't pretty at all. AFter my flat ont he North end of the Beach Drive, thanks to some stupid rocks, I crashed. I was drafting my dad and suddendly he squeezed his breaks just that much. My front wheel hit his back wheel and I tumbled over, along with my bike. It HURT... BAD! Somehow I lay there unclipped from my pedals with my bike toppled over me. Dad came back to help me up. As dad looked over my bike, I sat on the grass crying. I was SCARED to get back on the bike. Dad told me to get on as soon as I asked him to go get the car and bring it back to the spot where I had crashed. I was horrified at what had happened. Why would I even think about getting back on the bike? Even though I didn't break anything but my skin, I was still scared of crashing again. After finally getting back in the saddle it was nerve wrecking at first, but I slowly got used to it. We had a good four miles back to the car and I was going to get there on my bike, even though at that point I didn't want to be on it. On the way back I tried getting in areo position but it far to much bothered my elbow so I had to just ride like a normal cyclist. Dad and I were originally going to ride 50 but the ride ended up being 41... not bad for a days work. The scabs left on my elbow still hurt this morning, but soon they will be gone, and this crash will be a distant memory.
