Ouch, sounds like it could of been worse. Probably going to be more painful when you see how much STI/Ergo levers are 😉

Nasty, but sounds like you got away with it. I've never had a bad road crash (not counting the two times I was taken out by car drivers), and I'm really not looking forward to it when the inevitable happens.

Plenty of sympathy from me matey... I took a otb to the chin at the BMX track last night. Feeling like I've been punched in the face and missing skin from fingers, palms, knees, forearms, shoulders and I broke my sunglasses.

Not a great day.
