Ground was bone dry though!
Incredibly I also ate shit a few hours later. Hit by a Prius (I fucking hate Priuseseseses). I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been because I was really tired and he was clearly oblivious to everything around him. Hit me side-on, knocked my rear wheel out from under me. I went down hard.
The two seconds before impact, when I saw him coming - FAST - were the definition of an "Oh shit!" moment. Fucking terrifying.
Went down 50km from home with no other way back so just rode it out. Ouch.
