After three days of daily mountain bike rides, everyone except Christian was having a day off. A certain fool went anyway and came home rather damaged.
It had been going so well, until it wasn’t. Slipping off the pedals on a damaged section, pedal met shin and skin, with the metal studs leaving their mark. Then it was a double chain drop on an uphill section. End result of that was very limited gear selection. The final straw was the destruction of the bike seat on the flowing, fast downhill section. Apparently, the bike took one thump too many and the seat has now taken on a drunken lean with the mounts broken.
It was a slow and cautious ride home with a damaged bike and a bleeding shin.
