Sorry to hear Trent. Glad you are in 1 piece! What size bike do you ride? I might have one here for you to ride 56 and 58's. The 56 is a Cervelo R3, the 58 is a Guru Crono. They are yours to use and I can deliver it to Grass Valley/Nevada City and I will worry about getting it from Rich at the end of the ToC. Let me know if this works for you.
@chris... yeah I wonder the same thing. This year has been crazy. I almost got hit while running (had to jump into side ditch to avoid) and have had more close calls running this year than anything. I do think you are right about the not judging our speed as we approach them but I was on a road with 45mph speed zone so probably didn't judge it right. And as for the 27mph, that was the speed after I hit the brakes and was skidding to impact.
@Vince... Thanks for the offer and appreciate it but I'm a midget and ride a 50 size bike. This was on my Tri bike so for the ToC I'll have the road bike with the Di2 still ready to go for it.
Holy crap. That's just terrifying. Glad you alive and not broken. Hopefully all the soreness will subside soon (maybe some whirlpool/sauna time might help loosen you up?). I've had some near-misses over the years but other than doing an endo over a dog that ran out in front of me at 20mph one time many years ago I've been pretty lucky. Sometimes I feel like my number has to come up sooner or later. Give yourself a little time to heal up before hitting it hard again.
