Dirtyhip Posted November 14, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2017 Went out on my CX bike to train. I spent the first hour helping project badass, then she went back to work and I took some time for myself. I like this loop near my work. It is a closed loop, so no cars. It's a nice little climb and then a fun little downhill. You can get going decently fast on the down. I was going at a really decent pace and all of a sudden my bike started to buck and seemed completely out of control. Then, I realized, my front tire is flatting out at high speed. So I am headed towards the apex of the turn close to the bottom of the downhill. My bike will not turn. I am headed right towards the barricades. I got the bike under control just to the left of the barricades. I nearly shit a brick. With my bike at a full stop, I just stood there for a moment. I was motionless and stunned that I kept it upright. Then, back to business. I popped out my tire kit, fixed up my tire the best I could, but was having trouble with the C02 cart. One I had was empty, and the second one was being stupid. I got enough air in it to retreat to my house. I jammed home, grabbed my plus bike and then rode the mountain way back to work. Two bikes = 17 miles and 1900 ft of climbing. Weather, sunny...low 40's 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
