Well, I Tested out Scotty's Mtn. Bike (Some Blood)
So, I was taking it really easy with Scotty's bike at Peavine today, especially since I forgot to bring my allen wrench tool so that I could put the bike in Free Ride mode once I got to the downhill portion of my ride, but apparently not easy enough. The bike felt very unstable, so I wasn't comfortable going fast at all. There were lots of tire tracks on the dirt road I was cruising down and a little edge of a track that was under an inch in hight and parallel to my direction of travel turned out to be enough to keep the front tire from going up it. I basically just fell over on my left side and tumbled a bit. The bike is fine and so is my shoulder that I dislocated snowboarding two weeks ago, so that's good. There is a little mark on the seat which I'll be happy to pay for, but I'm pretty sure that's it. Apparently I should invest in knee pads though. (duh)
