    Had my first road/offroad experience today. Coming down a fast descent at maybe 50/60km/hr towards a bend I hadn’t seen. Brakes on and the rear locked up and started drifting as I didn’t want to leave the road sideways I released the brakes and headed for the undergrowth still clipped in. Nothing too dramatic in the end, but interesting at the time and possible a good constipation cure… 😯

    If you open your eyes and look where you’re going, you’ll probably see bends approaching 😉
