It was a good ride today to work. Until...
I had gone about 26 km and was doing about 30 kph. Coming towards a set of lights I tried to dodge a truck stopped waiting for green that had not left me enough room to pass on the inside. I decided to head up a driveway just before the truck, to get on the footpath for a few metres, but as I turned the front wheel it lodged in a rut, and I fell heavily.
I was a bit confused, and, while I felt no pain at the time, during the day my head, face, neck, collarbone, arm and hip began to hurt. Since riding home the various contusions are now making themselves known, and my hands and wrists are also hurting.
I certainly understand from this why broken collarbones are such common cycling injuries.

The background:
In September he expressed doubts about co-leading the Kazakh squad with
Armstrong in 2009, telling the Spanish sports daily 'AS' that "some
difficult situations could arise in which the team would put him
first".
However, the 2007 Tour winner now says an Astana team meeting in November will erase any earlier signs of a possible division.

BAVENO, Italy - Former Giro d'Italia winner Ivan Basso said he has
paid his penalty after serving a two-year doping suspension and is
ready to challenge the world's top riders - including Lance Armstrong.
The 2006 Giro champion will make his return to professional cycling
Oct. 26 in the Japan Cup. His main objective for next season will be
the Giro, the second most prestigious stage race after the Tour de
France.
That will pit the Italian rider against Armstrong, who
announced this week that he will ride in the three-week Giro for the
first time as part of his own comeback after a three-year retirement.
