Beautiful riding this afternoon. I intended a short ride after adjusting my chain but somehow found myself in Blanchard Caverns. That was when it got "interesting".
I came up on a low water bridge. The approach appeared wet, but was not actually wet with water. It was coated with slime of some sort that was very slippery. DR went down and I got a very intimate introduction to the bridge surface. DR came out ok, though the right handguard bracket will need a little tweaking. No serious damage to me but very sore ribs and right elbow. I think I am getting too old for these impacts. Shuffleboard is starting to make sense to me...
Was there a “slippery when wet” sign? If not. You should sue.
ReplyDeleteNo sign. Ribs wish there had been .
DeleteKeith, Keith, Keith! Your guardian angels are gonna ask God to be re-assigned to someone not quite as adventurous!
ReplyDeleteTo the contrary, I imagine that they are quite pleased to have an assignment which requires an ongoing focus and attention to duty! Getting better, I think I will be able to ride DR to the bible study tomorrow morning.
