Roses, everything was going great until...
Thorn: i got into an accident yesterday and totally destroyed my bike, we've got some bike tracks around here and i'vbe been getting pretty good on mine, so i've entered a couple of amateur races. well, yesterday, i was following a guy on a narrow path through trees down a big hill, and when we got to the bottom, there is a turn, everyone else i followed into the turn kept their speed up and carved it, as i had been, but this guy slammed on his brakes, then took the turn real easy, well, i was right on his butt, and reacted by swerving so as not to run into him... and ran into a tree. bent the frame, my back wheel looks like a pretzel, and most of the other movable parts are bent to crap. i don't think it's repairable.
so, i remember in the original post an allowance for a change in a goal if the situation was appropriate, i would like to request that my bike rides be changed to walks. if i can get my bike back before the end of the competition, then i'll resume those, but until then, i'm pretty much screwed on the bike rides part.
Thanks
