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.
 
I’m definitely not hyped on skiing yet this season but I’m super pumped on desert mountain biking. We desperately need moisture down here but if I’m honest, I’m hoping it holds off for a while longer so I can keep enjoying sun and singletrack!
