Tonight’s 34°F 80MPH ride home may be my last of the season. During the second half of the ride I got the chills, twice, and I seem to remember that was about when I put the bike away last year too. In addition it isn’t as much fun having to be so concerned about traction…
It felt like I ran over a one to two inch rock while going around a 70mph turn on the highway. I thought, “huh, I didn’t even see anything in the road.” It made me worry that I had spaced out for a second. But then I felt it again. That’s when I new something…
