The ride itself was pretty good and uneventful, except for a sudden fall about 3.5 minutes into my ride, right at the original start of the single track. This is a somewhat loose corner where one has to weave around a tree while entering off of two track, and I did so wrongly, washed out my front wheel, and hit the tree.<\/p>\n<p>I ended up hitting the handlebar with my thigh, breaking off the bell (as seen above), catching my ankle somewhere on the downtube, and landing on my hands\/chest. Except for some bruises on my legs I&#8217;m just fine, but it was very frustrating. In the process of falling I also tore my (relatively new) saddle, turned the seatpost, and turned the stem a bit. Oh well, at least I&#8217;m okay.<\/p>\n<p>Later on in that same ride I came across a deer with new, fuzzy antlers who wouldn&#8217;t move off the trail for me. I decided to turn back and go a different way, as I&#8217;d rather not have a deer decide it wants to make me move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight in lieu of a ride at Pontiac Lake I stopped off at River Bends on my way home.
