I run a short loop near my home several times each week. It’s a 5-mile loop that takes me into Test Tracks and down the Star Wars trail (a local favorite). I have been riding this a LOT, and I feel confident on the trail. I’ve learned it’s twists and turns.
Well, confidence can be dangerous. I was speeding into a right turn with a small drop-off and my front wheel washed out in some loose dust. It sent me over the bars and I summersaulted onto the trail. I rolled out of it just fine. A bit dusty, but none the worse for wear.
…but it did ruin my PR time on that run.
