Story line -- CRASH!




Crashes have been the story line so far in the Giro, what is your best crash story...

rode the bike to swim classes when @ Poly. late to class @ 8 am one morning and sprawled it on perimeter drive right smack in front of the health center! A nice looking gal walks up and asks if I'm OK as I lay prone in the gutter -- I have no idea how I responded. Spent 2 hours in the health center that morning taking gravel pieces out of my palms, hips and knees

At about 12 years old I got the golden nugget of bikes for a kid of that age.....the "Elf". It was a skinny cross bread of bmx and road bike, meant for dirt track racing. As I was riding home from school one day, bombing the big hill by my parents house at probably around 35mph or so, I ventured out into the main lanes to make a big sweeping turn into my parents street. As I took one last look over my shoulder to make sure no cars were there, I hit a reflector and was on the ground skipping like a rock. I left a good amount of myself on the road that day and the recovery was miserable. Almost every joint on my body was raw and I was a walking gauze pad for the next week. I hope none of us are ever in this condition!
