Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 15)

GoFaster - 2009-12-18 4:31 PM Glad to hear that you are ok.  Like the others, I'm amazed that someone could hit a cyclist and then keep going.

Hope both you and the bike aren't too bad when you assess things in the morning.

Houstonrider - 2009-12-18 5:35 PMWell it happened....... I was riding down 528 having a great ride, 22 miles into my 90 minute ride and cruising between 20 and 21mph when an on coming car decided to turn in front of me to go into the Kroger parking lot. All I saw was it's tire then him trying slow as I swerved around his front end. I then felt his bumper on my leg as I slid down his hood and then went over the handle bars when my front tire hit the curb. I went over the handle bars still clipped in and luckily landed in grass. Instantly my left leg cramped up and I couldn't unclip. I watched the car slow down, then proceed to leave. At this point I didn't even think to look for his tag numbers. In the end I have a cracked fork or cracked wheel, don't know which but the bike makes a creaking noise when weight is on the front tire and the wheel is turned.

I guess on the bright side it happened early in the season and still gives me time to get things repaired.

Houstonrider - 2009-12-18 5:41 PMThanks for all your well wishes. The police just left my house, with a description of the car, but I must say I made a horrible victim/witness and couldn't provide much detail. It is a small town and if the car has damage maybe the person will turn up.

My hip and calve are starting to get stiff but other than that I'm in good shape. Once again thanks for the kind words.

kjivie - 2009-12-19 2:01 PM Went to what I thought was a birthday dinner last night...ended up being a surprise party.  Long story short- I drank waaay too much and don't feel much like a triathlete today!!  Thought I was going to do a long run today- definitely not happening now.  At least I didn't do any PUI-ing last night.

Houstonrider - 2009-12-18 11:37 AM...... my helmet is dented 3 inches above my right ear. The more I think I about it, the more I realize I was very lucky. Good thing I'm slow and my guardian angel could keep up.

Houstonrider - 2009-12-19 4:02 PM Fattyfatfat..... did I ever tell you, you are my hero? Maybe I'll show up tomorrow at chappel hill just so you can see how far you are behind. I've head of pace booty but your supposed to look at chicks NOT me.

Houstonrider - 2009-12-19 10:37 AM Just got off the phone with fattyfatfat, and he suggested I get a new helmet. Well what do you you know...... my helmet is dented 3 inches above my right ear. I guess when I hit the ground I did hit my head. The more I think I about it, the more I realize I was very lucky. Good thing I'm slow and my guardian angel could keep up.
