Luckily my ass slid along the ground long enough to scrub off the physical speed of said ass and the impact of the tree was just enough to make me awfully sore for about a month.

It took a couple of the folks I had recently passed to help me get my bike back up to the road. I had to ride all the way back to San Fran with a bent up bike. To top it off on the way back I got a freaking speeding ticket in the little town of Ukiah.
I don't ride bikes but a buddy of mine once told me "You ride them awhile, then they ride you awhile". Almost everyone who rides bikes will testify to this.
