ChrisL Posted May 31, 2023 Share #4 Posted May 31, 2023 I did a quick & tight U turn on a mup on our last ride. My Ritchey is a CX bike so is nimble but…. Toe overlap is a thing. I didn’t dump it but sheot it was close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then - on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stop paying attention at a slow speed. I was pulling on a jersey sweater coming up on a stop. Had one hand on the bars and one fighting with the jersey when I came across some rippled asphalt. Down I went. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "coming to a stop" bit is where I find I mess up because of a poor hand off of "riding" to "stopping", so I ended up doing neither well. Ride enough, it happens, I guess, but you just feel stupid for such an avoidable mistake. And, likely have made that turn a hundred times and not wiped out.
