Title: first crash
Post by johnnybent on Sep 9^th, 2010, 6:11pm

Well...went out this afternoon and met up with jay, kenny, and thomas at WRL. they had been out all morning but jay decided to put in bonus miles with me. Well...on the second lap we come up behind a couple of riders at around 20 and I decided I wanted to catch and pass one going up a short hill. As I'm going around this right sweeping corner I felt my front slide out and as i corrected I found myself going to to the edge of the road and into the grass, slidng into a fall. Anyway laid on the ground for awhile sorting things out. A little skin off the elbow but the bikes' ok although a little dirty.

Gotta watch that front end when the pavement's wet, my friend... glad nothing too serious happened!

I told you, If Jay can't catch you he will knock you off your bike!! [smiley=deadhorsebeat.gif]

One little "accident" and I never hear the end of it. :)
