Two crashes tonight:
1. Chris' front wheel overlapped with Lionels and Chris went down hard @44kph. Road rash supreme on R side. Ouch. Road surface was rough (think coarse file versus fine) and lacerations on ankle and medial forearm . No ortho.
2. Sprint: Dan and Rick tangle and lock bars (query riding skills). Rick spits off to his left across oncoming traffic and slides into curb. Curb 1, Rick - 0; Bike - 0. Again, no ortho, just road rash, trashed helmet, trashed expensive front crabon fribee wheel.
Both incidents were preventable - lack of attention and ignoring the obvious. Especially the sprint one - we had called for neutral as I led it out cuz there was traffic coming behind and ahead of us. Our 50+ yr old egos couldn't let go.
