Felt physically OK on the team ride on Saturday, but was obviously still recovering from the car incident and didn't have much confidence in the race-readiness of my old backup bike.
In the hour before the Giro di San Francisco, I went along the Embarcadero to warm up. On the way back, my front tire caught and slipped on the partially-paved over railroad tracks that run along the middle of the bike path next to the Aquatic Park. Went down on my right side, spraining the right wrist and getting road rash on my right hip.
No race for me. If I'd been 100% before the race, the minor injuries wouldn't have gotten in the way. But all the mishaps added up to me not being ready to do more than go through the motions. One of the best things about being an amateur is that it's all for fun, right? No pressure to race regardless of the conditions.
