Lunchtime ride today ... My first fall on the Road Bike, going about 25mph, wasn't concentrating, didn't notice the small curb that the front tire got stuck in. Down I went. 
At least on smooth concrete, was with a riding buddy & he saw the end as I was finishing peeling some skin. Not a lot of damage, mostly the right forearm;a 4x2 inch burn. My right hip too, but since the shorts covered bare skin, that area's not so bad. A little quarter burn on the right shoulder too.
Bike came out of it pretty good; right pedal scratched, right side of the bar, hood & brake lever small scratches, a little scratch on the right/rear of the seat. Can't believe how much my jersey is all torn up, ripped to shreds!
Right glove also, they both must of saved a lot of my skin. The shorts didn't do too badly, but it's a bummer 'cause theyre my favorite pair.
my hip starting to throb Think Ill take the afternoon off work huh? Maybe so, its a good excuse.
Ya, I know - this thread's no good w/o pics.
