Heading downhill on the MTB at a decent clip.
Snow hiding a massive pot hole.
Front wheel goes in - I hit the deck like a sack of spuds.
My elbow takes the full brunt of it as I take 10ft of gritty, snowy road to grind to a halt.
Somehow the only thing ripped is my skin - through a lumo jacket and TWO long sleeve t-shirts.
Ouch.
100% my fault. Lesson learned. Need elbow-pads.
