Stacked !! ouch
« on: October 09, 2006, 10:23:21 am »
I ride most days on the local common.
Went to a section of the forest i dont normally ride and found a new track comming down a steep section through the firs.
At this point i should of cycled on.
Ah but alas no, i carried my bike to the top and thought i can ride this looking over the edge !!
So your intrepid hero rode over edge and life from hence forth on became a roller coaster of tumbles, no time to swear it was hard enough avoiding the firs.
I ended up in a metal entwined heap against a tree.
It didnt hurt too much untill i got home and found a huge dent in the crossbar.
I reckon my nuts did that!!
So next time ride on.

And once again my friends your friend the capped crusader strikes the trail once more.
Went for a little outing to a trail that has north shore.
The lads have ridden it but I lost my nerve last time.
So this time I rode up to the entrance which has a very steep entrance now cut steeper by riders dragging the back wheel.
I turned around and rode at it, hey what could happen to me? I lost my nerve right on the edge ekk too late to brake but i did Ah ha the bike stopped cause the sh1t thought you can go down there but I'm not.
So your intripid hero continued onwards down the hill by himself running at a fair pace whilst his mighty chicken legged two faced steed watched on with others watching.
I was sooo embarassed.

Another thrilling installment to follow once I have finished kicking all hell out of my chicken legged bike.

try tightening your clipless pedals up so tight your feet can't get out, then hey presto you can't get separated! Not sure if this is a good thing...
