Was heading to one of the local gravel trails using a shared path. Avoided a woman and her dog by going onto grass, when coming back onto the path forgot to hop and my tyre got stuck between the grass and path. Nothing broken but got a few scrapes and bruises.
Bike is A-ok though minus the bartape and gashes on the shifter (Trek checkpoint sl5)

Helmet doing its job!
Glad you’re okay. Make sure to get a new helmet.
Yeah man! I always told my clients, it’s not *if* you fall, it’s when. You’ll be a better biker for it.
FWIW, one of my few crashes has been in THAT EXACT SAME SITUATION, where you forget to hop and you catch the lip on the concrete.
Better than my first crash. Bent a pedal and made a mess of both my legs along with losing two bottles of water to the highway. Got myself cleaned up in a cvs bathroom and made the long ride home.
