Holy crap. Raced home from work thinking this was my last weeknight for a ride, before daylight regular time.
Rainy and a lot of leaves down. In the first corner on the single track I did a monster slide rear end completely sideways. I knew I had to calm down and take it slow especially in two spots.
The first is a 2x6 that spans a rock garden. Yeah I could have ridden through the rocks instead, but I guess that's not how I roll. Maybe stupid.
Anyway I made it through that, now I had to get over this bridge with a handrail on one side only. You come at it from an angle, I knew it would be slick, I took it sooo slow.
As soon as I hit it, I was off it and into the creek. I was laying in the mud and completely unhurt. Miracle really. Finished the ride.
Some random guy stopped me on my way home and asked me for a jump. Home, got my car, jumped him. Nice glass o' red wine.
Time to shower off and head to my buddies for some pumpkin carving.
Happy Halloween all.
