been out twice over the last two weekends in what i'd call semi 'wintery' conditions and hit the deck both times :-) falling hard on my right elbow each time. thankfully just grazed arm and nothing serious.
can't believe my luck of late as i've ridden throughout the winter for the last X years and never taken a tumble and have had two in two weeks!
yesterday I was decelerating as i was approaching a bend and all of a sudden heard cracking ice then boom straight down. i could hardly stand upright to pick my bike up! luckily i lost a lot of speed before hitting the road.
stay safe out there guys! think i'll give the weekend rides a rest for a bit
