well that sucked
24 miles all in, was gonna be shorter but i had to double back after crashing, riding many miles away to realize my light broke off, and then having to go back to where i crashed to find it

found it

couldve been worse, just gonna be sore for a bit
anywhere else on this run wouldve been better to crash, but thats an abandoned road in the woods, crashing there means theres asphalt underneath like a quarter inch of leaves and sticks

all around kind of a miserable ride tbh, all of my pictures i took on the floppy disk camera are MIA because all the floppies in my backpack got damaged when i crashed
and then none of the pictures i took with the digital camera are any good because the lighting was off and that camera sucks at taking a picture in high contrast

and its not like i was having any fun before crashing either, because my entire ride there and back was basically this

yeah lemme just wade through my local bike path
its like 8 miles of this btw, sometimes you can ride around the edges, sometimes you cant

If you ain't bleedin' you ain't trying, as my soccer coach used to say.

Poor monmouth, my home town, is under water, and half the shops have been trashed by flooding, but my colleagues and I went to the mendips and rode around on mountain bikes, it was dry-in places.

Minty was the only classic piece really.
