Just back in from an epic ice strewn night ride. Fresh snowfall covered sheets of ice causing some comedic crashes.
No on trail swear filter could keep up. Malcolm Tucker you are toast.
Any other Icy Trail Touretters?
I didn't even realise I did it until I read this thread. But yes, count me in, I seem to produce a constant tirade of obscenities.. 😆
When the crunching sound of tyres gripping snow goes quiet you know you're in for sphincter twittering moment or two . . . . insert obscenities of choice 😉
Ha.I suffer all year round.
Hill tourettes & ice tourettes.
It's not flipping funny. 🙂
I wasn't entirey aware of it until I ran into a class of primary school kids out on a nature-walk back in November 😳
I'm relieved its not just me
I have the full range of cycling tourettes, ice, hill, wind, turbo...
it's a well known internet fact that swearing improves your sense of balance...
doctor ital prescibies the mighty conti claw 240s, they cleared my tourettes up completely
If I don't have several bouts of Tourettes on a ride my mates get worried & ask if I'm OK 😆
^as above
lasts year round for me
I don't have ice tourettes - I'm usually to busy whimpering and cowering to be able swear if I encounter ice when I'm out. 😕
I ddin't realise I had the condition until just now but yes, I've got it. Todays ride was 4 hours of sheet ice covered in fresh snow. Talk about 5p 50p hoop! My new extreme sport is trying to avoid wind turbine cast off ice whilst trying to remain vertical on a frictionless slope. You know it's bad when the only other tracks belong to deer, sheep and birds and all of them have fell on their jacksies too!
I was out on the ice this morning, although not as epic sounding as your ride! I'm yet to learn of the best trails round my way.
I love riding on ice and snow, takes more concentration and therefor knackers me very quickly.
Rode in pretty dire mud today - you know what? no trail-tourettes. I think riding in the ice and snow has cured me of my hatred for mud which now seems like bliss in comparison!
