RR: Cursed!

Ride, Crash, then repeat

It was going to be a little chilly at first, so I pulled a
t-shirt over my long-sleeve jersey. It said "RIDE" on the
front, the back said "CRASH, then repeat".

So that's what I did.

RIDE - I took a steep downhill fireroad to get to the
climb quicker. Turns out it was covered with THICK gravel
of all sizes (up to ~4"😉. Every downhill section was
extremely precarious.

CRASH - I'd made it most of the way OK, until the bike was
juddering so badly that I really couldn't see a line
anymore. I headed for the side, and that's where I went
over (thankfully). Just a few scratches, but I was
mentally shaken.

REPEAT - I got to the first part of the climb; there was a
section that was very close to the edge of a big drop, but
I'd never seen anyone fall there. Until now. I broke the
cardinal rule - I looked down. Then I slid down.
Fortunately, "repeat" was written in small letters on the
t-shirt. I took the damn thing off!

The rest of the ride went fine. Nasty climb, done
relatively well (for this time of year).

Hehehe... maybe I'll have penny custom make a DH jersey for
me. She could print, "Human Lawn Dart" on the front, and
"Quadriplegic" on the back ;-)

nice, bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather
than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an
immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.
