Probably been discussed before, but doing a search using "crash" didn't turn up much (I looked through the 13 pages).
Anyway, today I crashed. It wasn't the first time or the worst, but it was the first on this bike (bike looks fine, but I'll take it in so a more experienced person can look at it).
My question is, how long does it take you to get over a crash psychologically? I'm not sure how long it will take to have the confidence to corner downhill like I did pre-crash, or if it will just be limited to that place.
For those who actually care what happened, I was going downhill, realized that I wasn't going to make the corner (I went into the corner to close, and looked like I was going to overshoot it, if that makes any sense), and did the dumb thing of locking up my rear brake. Needless to say, I lost control and went down.
