That the fairy has it in for me.
Front wheel blowout at about 40mph. More to come when I've been rescued.
Having seen the photo, I can show you what it will look like in 6 months time. Not pretty, but I'm way past worrying about that! Mine was much the same but a bit more chewed up and the hole at the elbow was deeper, and I only came off at 20mph but chose a gravelly rural chip and seal surfaced lane when the front blew on my Performer SAKI. I picked up the otherwise undamaged bike when a car arrived, but it was clear that no way was I going to be able to change the tube and finish the ride (another 50k).
I can still feel the impact as I hit the deck, and the few milliseconds between realising that something wasn't right, and landing on the deck is imprinted on my mind forever. I now wear MTB elbow pads, but it was about 3 months before the scabs would let me put them on. I've not been over 33mph since......
I also had to rely on the generosity of others to get me home (and to A&E to check the elbow joint out - you really don't want a joint infection - DAMHIKT). My casquette kept the blood off the kind lady's car seats. The wife was away at the time, but I got the full on sympathy failure when she came home.
Like you, I'm glad I was on a recumbent, at 62 after exiting a DF a broken collar bone could have been much worse.
Take it easy, it really shook me up and I'm still a bit wary of that front wheel.
