I think I’m done riding for the season
Every morning until there’s snow on the streets, I ride my downhill bike (norco launch) to work. I leave the front door of my building and sprint for a good 1:30+ across the parking lot and down the hill in a big backwards S which has 2 blind corners. It’s interesting usually, and gets my blood pumping so I can sit at work all day.
This morning I slid out due to a large amount of loose sand that the supers put down for a snow fall a few days ago. The snow is gone. The sand is slippery. Full speed crash around the corner and it sent me a good 10-15ft down hill in oncoming traffic. Luckily the only car coming up the hill was a good 45 seconds away.
I killed my bar ends, my gloves, my jeans and cut up my palm and fore arm. My jacket and bike survived unscathed.
