Biked the long way to the Hinckleys, then we rode to AF on the roads. Pretty spontaneous bike ride, we had no idea where we were going it was fun. On the way back, Austin offered me his extra gloves cuz it was cold so I took them. Picked it up in the gradual downhill, my gears are stuck in the middle 7 so I was pedaling to fast, going around 25 mph. Foot slipped off the pedal and hit the tire I think. Lost control, hit the curb and went down. Braced fall with my hand then slid across the road face first. Both elbows and hips and one hand got scraped up bad. It's a good thing I had those gloves (which got shredded) because my hand would have been a lot worse without them. Luckily nothing's injured, my body just stings. Soaked and put hydrogen peroxide and neosporin on it, hopefully nothing gets infected. Not biking anymore this week and my road bike is trashed anyway. 22 miles today, 117 this week.
