Critical Re-Entry Angle Mistake: Crash
After watching stage 4 of the Vuelta de Burgos I set out on the bike ride. Yesterday evening I adjusted the front disc on my Cervelo Caledonia bike and the ride would tell if I fixed the rubbing noise. I rolled out at 10:14 AM to ride the Atasccocita South – Walden – Huffman route. This route averages about 35 miles which help cut into the mileage shortfall to my August goal. The forecast called for 102 degrees later today and I wanted to get back home before that happened. The ride went through Elm Grove Village, North Woodland Hills Village, and Bear Branch Village. I rode beside Kingwood Drive heading east dodging the fallen trees on the greenbelt when I made a re-entry mistake back onto the concrete greenbelt. The front tire caught the edge of the concrete propelling me various directions before landing on the concrete greenbelt. As I got back up pulling the Cervelo from the grasp of the limbs and vines my head was spinning. My right knee had a scrape from the concrete but not enough to bleed though I expect road rash by tomorrow. With my head spinning I couldn’t get back on the Cervelo so I walked the trail to the old HEB building. There I was able to get back on the bike but with the dizziness I rode back home, not wanting to chance any more damage. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be back on the bike. It has been awhile since my last crash.
