PPTC “regdiR eulB” ride. Rode the hills – Naked Mt. and Mt. Weather – very strong, which was a plus (and a bit of a surprise, given how early it is in the season). After the rest stop in Bluemont, crashed fairly hard on Airmont Road after hitting a pothole. Managed to not get anything markedly worse the a bit of road rash, some bumps and bruises, and a cramped left calf. Bike suffered some damage: front wheel knocked out of true, bar tape on left side mangled, handlebar slightly bent due to it taking a lot of my weight during the fall. I’m sore now (will be more so by morning), but will be able to ride again tomorrow if the weather holds off.
