oops, gravel and skin don't mix

Had a nice mountain bike ride tonight until the last 200 yards when I hit some gravel and decided to body surf the gravel a bit. My right arm and leg are now minus a bit of epidermis. That shower did NOT feel good! Dosed up with Neosporin on the few deep scratches so hopefully everything will heal OK. Even on the way off the bike I was thinking "Don't hit Pete. Don't hit Pete." So Pete came through unscathed and I'm left feeling like a bit of a dumb ass for falling off my bike in a flat gravel road. Oh well - I guess that's why they call them accidents!

And Jeff, here is the photo update (couldn't post this last night directly from my BB):
