The Price of Priceless

Gas to go to Cuba Race $20
Hotel Room $45
Race Entry Fee $35
Food $25

Crashing less than 25 miles into the 83 mile road race
Cracked Atmos Helmet $150.00
Shattered Orion Tubular Front Wheel ~$200

Priceless Part:
Thinking your shoulder is not broken :)
Chasing to try and get back into the race :(
Pulling out of the race after a 20 mile chase :(
Being so sore that you wish you had road rash instead :(
Getting a picture of you and your wheel :)
Knowing you crashed at approx. 27 mph and can walk away (while limping) :)
Trying to figure out how to replace the equipment you've destroyed :(



Total cost = in excess of $475



Best Part - Not Getting the Chance to finish the race and see where your fitness is. :o(
