My First Spill

The guys at Great Basin Bicycles (where I bought my bike), told me that its not a matter of IF I fall over on my bike because I couldnt clip out soon enough but WHEN I fall over on my bike.....well that happened today at a 4-way intersection! I was on my way back from a great ride. I was riding through the foothills in this fantastic area with lots of cows, horses, victorian houses, barns and large fields. As I came back "in to town" I was flying through this intersection trying to make the light, well I made the light, unclipped one foot- but my bike fell the other way- towards the still clipped in foot and I ate it! Francis, my bike, got a scrape on her handel-bar, which didn't bother me at all. She is now broken in. I will never own anything that I dont get good use out of. So to everyone at that four-way intersection of South Meadows and Double R, I hope I made your morning!

Oh I'm sorry to hear of you & Francis eating pavement, especially in front of a crowd. But now there's no nervousness about that first biff you were promised, it's over! Smooth sailing from here on out :)
