It seems that some gnomes introduced a bit of entropy to the rock garden in The Pines at Stony Creek. When riding through there this evening I fell, hit my left knee (it doesn’t seem bad), and broke my brake lever. Good thing it’s just a cheap Avid FR-5, for which I can get a replacement from REI for $14. I have to place an order with them for a large size yellow jacket to replace the too small medium one I’d purchased, so I’ll just throw this on the order as well.
Also, coming around a corner while riding trails in the dark and suddenly seeing a child-sized silhouette in the trail with glowing eyes staring at you is a bit disconcerting. Riding alone in the woods in the dark is a bit odd and worrysome. Even the normally-cute deer are a bit frightening. I was really getting a feeling for how lost/scared one would feel if hurt out there.
