Front wheel went in all the dust on the Pila to Aosta run
Ah that brings back memories, following someone down there struggling to keep up most of the day I was suddenly catching him like he was standing still, yeah he’d braked for a corner I hadn’t seen through his dust! Slid a good 20 yards down the trail after the front wheel washed out, creating a massive dust cloud and jumped straight up bricking it that the next rider would be riding into the cloud and me blind.
The dust made it the softest fall of the holiday, loved that place. Not much of it could be described as flat! Hope it’s the same experience as me with no more than a bit of dust rash.
On the steep rock climb that you hit fast and blind one of the guys grabbed his brakes at the bottom and stalled out half way up, didn’t see how he managed to bail out without hurting himself but heard the reaction from the point where he started to run out of speed, to the falling scream then the laughter (thankfully) as he landed it in one piece 🙂
