We have a tunnel for bicycles going under a major road. The tunnel is downhill with a 70 degree left turn after the exit and a small uphill after that. This means you can coast through the tunnel and power into the turn and uphill. Great fun usually.
Today there was a lot of seeds from a tree or something. Nice and soggy too after the rain last night.
So down I went on my left side. Luckily the seeds acted as a sort of grease so I only got roadrash on my elbow and ankle plus some nice bruises on my arm and thigh. Ouch, ouch. Bike survived wthout any damage cept a tossed chain and the handlebars going out of alignment. (Held on by QR so no problem)
I was wearing a helmet btw. but luckily I didn't bang my head on anything. I'm also very happy I wasn't on my DF. Now that would have hurt.
Good to see you & Mr. Bent are okay and not mangled. ------------------------- "Mikael Seierup" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...
