"A Crash"

Road through the forest with sun slanting down

Today I broke spoke number 6 on the rear wheel, on the drive side this time. I'm down to my last spare spoke. I also had my first "crash" today. I had stopped to check out a motel west of Kingston but decided it was a little too scuzzy even for me (drunks sitting in doorways, etc.) On my way out the driveway, I slipped on some gravel and went down at about 5 mph. I bruised my hip, but no other damage.
