Ouch, that's an ugly looking face plant. No doubt the pain of the damage
to your beloved ride will last longer than the face pain. Heal, be well,
and get back on a bike. The most dangerous seat at our age is the sofa.

So glad to hear that you are okay/wasn't worse. I had a friend who was
slammed down in a similar way from, of all things, a *squirrel* crossing
her path! Got stuck in her fork about the same way.
Your faith will come back—and you will have greater awareness I predict.
Heal and rest,

Joe,
Sorry to hear about your crash. Wishing you a successful and swift recovery
and you are back riding soon..
When you have your fork checked out inspect around the fork crown for
cracks in the paint at the lug joints. Also inspect the top tube and down
tube near the head tube for any bulges.
Thanks all. Oh yes Patrick a good concussion. I was on a 27 second loop for
more than 4 hours, none of which I remember. My wife is a saint. I am
taking recovery very seriously, with lots of rest. Not to start a helmet
debate here, but without my helmet this likely would have been much worse.

Glad you're OK--and, BTW, that is some stick! Advice on the chin & c--let
your beard grow out until the scab lifts on its own. Don't ask me how I
know to do this, just do it. Your face will thank you. And you'll always
wonder what happened in those few minutes you're missing, but I suspect
Ouch! Glad you're OK. How's your head? Were you checked for a concussion?
Loosing a tooth can mean one or not, depending on the impact. Prayers for
your rapid healing.
With abandon,
Patrick

So glad you weren’t hurt badly.
Yellow Jersey straightened the fork of my XO-5 after an unfortunate meeting
with a minivan.
They did a great job with an unbelievably fast turnaround.
I’ve noticed no ill affects from the bend and repair but will let anyone
know if I ever foolishly consider selling
