Snorting his way across the USA
In my area we have a fairly long bike trail that is frequented on the weekends, not surprisingly, by bicyclists. Like me. Anyway I was cruising along at a good 18 mph clip and I get passed up by this lady. Granted, I was on a mountain bike and she was on a road bike, but this isn't a gender physical superiority thread anyway, that's not where I was going with it.
I didn't particularly feel like regaining my lead or pacing her, but something caught my eye. As I drew closer, my suspicions were confirmed. Indeed, those spandex pants with the appearance of shorts over them was actually a two-piece spandex long pant with detachable leggings. The lowers appeared to be attached by thin velcro, and were patterened, unlike the upper, which was plain dark blue. The upper portion however, depsite the dark blue color, was actually surprisingly translucent, particularly in the sun and did little to mask the skin tone underneath. Secondly, those were indeed panties underneath, French cut with a sharp V, almost transitioning into a thong. Amazing. Thong-panties. Thanties! Wow. They were unlike any I've seen. Black in color, scalloped pattern on the seams, raised embroidered pattern on the interior, visible tag that appeared to say......
THWUNK!
I never saw it. She zigged. I didn't. There was a very large rock on the trail. The front shocks took some of the force but the solid rear did not, consequently I did a 180 degree forward flip and landed on my head, bike managed to detach from the foot clips and flew forward into the bushes. A couple of bikers stopped to render assistance.
Damage assessment:
1. Helmet took a direct hit to the pavement and is pretty gouged. I'll need a new one.
2. Minor cuts and bruises to the body (primarily on the back.)
3. Twisted ankle.
4. Broken sunglasses (that's why I wear cheap Foster Grants.)
5. Sore neck but I think it's getting better.
6. Rear wheel knocked out of true. Fortunately I had a spoke wrench with me so I could get it in a rideable condition. I'll finish truing it later.
7. More paint and black anodize scraped off the frame and handlebars. It's not really noticeable, it blends in with all the rest of the scraped off paint and black anodize.
8. Rear derailleur tweaked. Again, just a cable stretch issue. Already fixed.
Surprisingly, my telephone came through the event unscathed. I was actually streaming Pandora through the earphones. I'm thinking that was probably a mistake. Maybe if I hadn't been listening to streaming music that wouldn't have happened. Honestly though, I don't remember what song was playing at the time.
Be careful out there.
