car+bike= end game

got hit on my ride today, was maybe 20 min into what should have been an easy 2 hour spin, was on a striaght road, very little traffic, wide shoulder, and was tooling along in the 22-23ish range, car comes up behind me, i move over a bit (now in the middle of teh shoulder), as he goes around me starts to cut back over and comes into the bike lane, rear bumber clips my front wheel, and i slam down hard on my left side. landed flat on my side, hip, hand, shin, knee, shoulder and side are all torn up, hip is swelling some. i sat up, guy was no where in sight. dude just took off..........

finally someone else came along and stopped, and gave me a ride back to my car (thank you whomever you were!!!!!!!)

by this point i was calm enough to check out the bike, both wheels out of true, brakes banged up, bars twisted to the side. i headed over to boulder cycle sport where dwain (sp?) took care of the bike.

clothes are in much worse shape. completely trashed my jersey, shorts, tights, arm warmer, helmet and left glove. so now i get to try and find a way to replace all this stuff...... YAY.

called non-emergancy police when i got home, gave them the info i had, but they said not much they could do with that, took my info all the same.

should be good to go here pretty soon, but going to have a lot of raod rash for a while, and a lot less cycling gear!

make sure you guys are wearing your helmets!!!!!
