Since I was working on the west side today, Marty and I brought out bikes and headed out to the Tree Farm for the Tuesday night ride.
We were there early, so we headed out of a quick mini-prelap, Marty and Kim took off with Justin and Tina, and Mike and I did 1/2 of the trail at a fairly good clip. Mike bit it on the first log pile, but no damage other then knocking his Garmin off the mount.
On the main lap, I was heading into the expert loop, and lost my front tire on a downhill rooty section. Krug was right behind me, and went down also (root also took him out trying to go around my twisted wreckage) I came right back up on my feet, but Krug took a good landing on his back, and knock the wind right out of him. He was heading out, and I was ready to continue on, till Marty pointed out that something wasn’t right with my seat.
Bent and Twisted Saddle
So, rather then suffer with one cheek hanging in the wind, I called it a night too. It wasn’t really that bad to ride, but I don’t know if I would have enjoyed the ride that much trying to do the single track with it.
Luckily, I have a bunch of extra saddles in the basement. But damn, I loved that saddle!
