My Team Danskin training group did a hill workout on the bike this evening. As a workout leader, I was the sweeper for the Level IIs. We were on the way to the start of our loop - i.e. we hadn't done anything but an easy warmup - when we came up to a stop sign. I easily freed my right foot from my pedal clips and slowed down for the stop sign with about 10 other women. I'm not sure what happened; my right foot was free, so I have no idea why I leaned left! It's called a flop when you fall on your bike when you aren't actually moving and this was the first time I've ever done it. I'm fine, but my knee was bleeding fairly profusely - it was quite impressive. All in all, I'm glad it finally happened. It wasn't at all painful or traumatic; I don't even mind that so many amazing and talented bike riders were there to witness my very first flop.
