i had a little wake up call yesterday that I should have been better prepared for.
Coming back from a ride, I took a corner into a residential street in my neighborhood.
It seems that the closer to home I get, the less vigilant I become.
I was going less than 20mph, leaned into the corner and hit a patch of something that can best be described as tree droppings. Little berry seed type of things.
A whole bunch of them.
Well, I instantly lost traction on the front tire :surprise:, straightened it up and gently braked into the curb.
Not elegant, but I didn't go down, so I count it as a win.
That sure got my attention.
Be careful out there this time of year.
They don't call it Fall for nothing.
