If you notice the pothole too late, you can also try to shift your weight so that the front wheel goes round one side of the hole and the rear wheel round the other. As an experienced rider, you probably do this instinctively, anyway, but if not, it is a technique worth learning. I'm afraid I can't find a graphic on-line illustrating this, but from memory, it is described in good riding manuals like Cyclecraft.
