Also, another wipeout, 2 in less than a week. This one WAS awesome, not because it happened, but how I reacted in a split second.

I was approaching a wooden bridge on the trail. This morning was mid-30s with some fog, and this was just at daybreak.

I couldn't see it was covered with black ice. None at all on the asphalt path.

Hit the bridge, and immediately spun out, the bike falling to the right. Somehow, I managed to basically jump off, as the bike spun out from under me off toward the left, and I ended up standing on the bridge, unhurt. And, the bike is fine, too.

I was impressed at my own athleticism. Who knew I had it in me at 47 and still about 20 lbs overweight?
