I had my all-time worst bike wreck in the circle at the end of Taylor today. Rocketing down the hill too fast, and even though I started braking very early, the wheels lost traction on some slick pavement and I skidded into the curb in the middle of the circle. The area inside the circle is mostly cactus and I went pretty much head first into all that. Lots of small puncture wounds on the left side of my face, badly bruised knee that must have hit the curb and puncture wounds on my front lower right leg that are spaced out like they must have been caused by the big chainring. My computer was broken off as was my helmet mounted mirror, but both look repairable with some super glue. Considering how fast I was going I got off pretty light. No damage to the bike itself except for a cactus spine through my seat bag! As you may have gathered, with this my all-time worst wreck, I have fortunately not been involved in very many serious crashes! Assuming my knee is OK (and it seems to be doing OK after icing it), I'll be there tomorrow at 11:30. I'm planning on heading out to Lake Benbrook.
