Wet leaves, misty damp day. Seen well in advance, I knew they were likely to be trouble but the fast moving traffic wouldn't let up to allow me the few inches I needed to avoid them. Slowed right down and got through almost all of them, when I found myself ceremoniously dumped onto the pavement in slow motion. As I contemplated another minor cycling related injury, I noticed the leaves where I came off had been hiding a huge lump of moist dog exhaust. Nice.
