Biking moment...
Racing the Landmine classic after it rained. All the bridges on the course were wet and very slick. And after multiple prerace warning from the officials, I fall off the only bridge that's mor than a foot off the ground...I dropped about 3 or 4 feet with about 6 other riders behind me watching.

I'm pretty easy going when I race and ride. I ride to have fun, and I approach every race like a really good mountain bike ride.
