I reckon I'm very lucky to be able to tick all of those off. That would actually be a really good annual to-do list! Nice vid to watch as the rain pours down outside and I suffer from man-flu ๐Ÿ˜€

A couple of things to add which I haven't done yet:
Ride across a continent
Do a proper gap jump

Any other inspiration to consider on a rainy day?

8 still missing from my "list".... no inclination to do it, either....

i'd add:
fix a puncture
bunny hop
hinterrad versetzen (swinging the back wheel round whilst pivoting on the front wheel)
ride no-handed
wheelie

It doesn't have half of the essential but lame crashes I'd include.

Well I've done those 10, but to be honest that's not a particularly difficult or amazing list of things to do.

. Go to cycle through a MASSIVE muddy puddle, find out in the middle that it's deeper than you th thought and it covers your feet at the bottom of the stroke.
. Break chain on big ride 10 odd miles from home, discover you haven't got a spare link. Lower seat to scooch along the flats, freewheel down the hills but walk most of way ๐Ÿ™
