I wasted my 2006 CAAD8 R1000 today.
It was a bone headed move. The short description is I hooked a Left turn (from the outside) of a Banked road for a right hand turn. I did so at 25 ish mph. Garmin says 25.8 last speed recorded. I crossed a bump, and then as I tried to turn the road kept falling away from me. I am ok, broke my Giro Aeon in 7 places, fractured a finger, and trashed the CAAD8 frame. But no TBI, no broken neck. all is good to live to ride another day? Yeah I thought so, however very expensive lesson.

If not then here are a couple pics
Frame got tweaked when I slide off the road and hit the grass.
180 lbs 56 cm frame Maybe I don't want a CAAD 10. Time to find a old Used CAAD frame. Or just keep it on the pavement.
