16.5mph (Avg)
It was an overcast day with very spotty and light showers. It was dry when I set out and the road was happy and cooperative. When I was just about to turn around to come back, the it sprinkled very lightly. This apparently made the road very angry (especially this one part of the road that was particularly smooth). The road released this anger by coming up and smacking me in the face. I was so surprised that I jumped right back up and grabbed my bike (just in time for the only car on the road to pass by). The bike was muddy and suffered a small abrasion on the right handlebar. The right shifter was also moved in a little.
I was also muddy down my front and my face was bleeding. I was otherwise ok. (My watch, however, was broken off of the wristband. Luckily I noticed and found the watch and the band.) I rode home very cautiously, and the road seemed content and happy as if nothing had happened.
My face is healing nicely.
