Rode to work a couple days this week.
THis afternoon went out on a short ride, with idea of looking to see where tree colors might be changing as compared to least weekend (and pondering.. "when did I get to be so boring...?)
FOund some swans in a bayou
Found some tress have some branches turning color.
Went down by beach in town.
Found sand blown across the road in some places.
Deeper in my lane and less in other lane.
I suppose I could go over in other lane, but, naw, its not that deep, and I have enough experience to deal with it.Downshift, high rpms, don't go slow, weight on pegs....
nope... I missjudged something... dumped it... dumped it hard... I came off bike and rolled....
got up... stepped back to bike, hit kill switch,.
... took a couple attempts to get bike back up with feet sliding thru the sand (do the back up to bike lift thing)
bye then had one guy runn up to help, and another car stopping ... and a guy on an Indian going around me....
Got bike up, got on it, got it running, but would just spin rear wheel, not going anywhere.
So got back off, and pushed while spinning rear wheel, and got out of the deep stuff.
I thanked the guy that was helping push, and took off before someone came along who might consider I was reckless or something... so no pictures.
Go a few sore muscles in back and belly, probably from the exercersion of lifting bike while feet slipping out.. Had some sand in back of neck, probably from the roll. GOt a mark on top of tank, maybe where my boot came across it.
I suppose I should be better at judging the depth of the sand (a common occurance along there when windy).
