Question to all you riders who do thousands and thousands of kilometers, are crashes something we need to put up with as they come with the terrain? I see professionals on TV crash so it is not just us novices.

I had a crash a few years back, landing on my left hip and shoulder. I hit the bitumen on a greasy bit of road when it started to rain, and the tyres lost interest in grip for some reason.
After getting xrayed, I had an impingement on the bursor in my shoulder. I booked into a Physio and started working with them on getting repaired, and it's all good now.
About the same time a mate of mine came off his mountain bike and did a similar injury to his shoulder. He went to the local hospital, and that was about it, and it took him years to recover from the fall.
Just a thought, Syndrome, for getting treatment for your shoulder.
Like Prydey, I've developed an allergy to falling. If I fall, I find it hurts.
