Yup I fell over today. The first fall on my bike. And it was a simple/stupid thing. I was in a narrow passage at the junction on my way up Diablo between another cyclist and a ranger truck. I had just clipped one shoe in and lost my balance as I tried to get around the cyclist, not even moving really (part of the problem). I simply lost my balance and fell over on top of my bike. Fun! The sprocket puncture wounds look worse than they are. I've got my calf all cleaned up now and wrapped up for about the next 24 hours. Everyone needs a little drama every now and then, right?
Besides that, today was an amazing day. The ride was pleasantly warm (77F) up to about 2000 ft (the junction). Then it cooled down a little bit, and was even cooler at the top (3940 ft). The views were spectacular from the summit today. But in all honesty, I've ridden up it so many times, I typically don't look around much any more.
All in all, today was a great training day.
Ouch! :(
