This weekend is ECCC Championships at Dartmouth, something I had looked forward to all season...On wednesday I was going over the crit course and coming out of a turn got out of the saddle to practice sprinting down the straight portion. After about two seconds I hear a clunk, feel no pedal resistance, and feel myself flying over the bars.

I smashed my head first, then my elbow, and some other bits. No broken elbow, but the concussion is still pretty bad feeling. The bike is a little messed up, but I have little desire to actually fix it. I went for a ride two and after about 5 minutes I decided to drop out of the races for the weekend (ttt, crit, road).

That's my story! The bell sweep r is a good helmet, by the way.
