crash!

Well, I had my first crash the other day. Riding from work to pick up some jewelry for my lady (steel braided clutch cable for my bike), when some lady hit her brakes suddenly, causing me to skid out on loose gravel. landed on my left hand and destroyed my left wrist. Surgery and pins and screws are happening next and my season is over. I can take the pain, and the inconvenience of living with one hand, but the not being able to ride is killin me!!
Sorry...just wanted to vent.
Keep the rubber side down people!

ps: the bike is fixable and will be better than ever in the spring!(new paint, big bore, new shoes, etc...)

Glad you didn't do anything more serious. Having pins and screws sucks. Get well soon.
