All time biggest oh shit moment lasted a while...
2nd day cycling solo in Pyrenees on a trip back to uk. Had covered about 130 miles and 2000m climbing and was left only with 15 miles of descent to the next hotel. Was summer and around 9 in evening cycling due west. Straight into sunset. Greasy sunglasses that I had nothing with which to clean them. Cycling down a pothole covered windy back road that was absolutely impossible to see. Each intermission between sun to shaded areas was blind and it was on off the whole way down. Was in pretty exhausted and in a hurry to finish day but had no intentions of falling off in any way. Was a fucking nightmare... Will always carry cloth to clean glasses although this would have only helped to a degree!
