Afternoon Walk

Evening Walk

Storytime. So after a nice fast start, I decided I might as well attempt to get a solid time on the marathon beach to astorville segment (christiaan needs some competition once in awhile haha), but that turned out to be a massive fail when I came across a couple on the bike path near cranberry trail. They decided it was a smart idea to take up the entire path, while ignoring the cyclist screaming at them from 50m away that I'm coming up on their left. They turned around, made eye contact with me, and then acted as if i wasn't even there and continued on their romantic bikepath stroll. To cut to the chase, I ended up on my ass on the side of the bike path, the man got clipped a little in the process as well (i think he was alright). But I did yell at them before continuing on my way haha. First fall on the bike... i guess it was bound to happen. So after that, I scrapped the KoM dreams and just decided to try out some random astorville roads. This also turned out to be a fail. My old cannondale apparently does not have the best gear system and as i was climbing a hill, I tried dropping the gear and the chain came clean off, my feet slipped right off the pedals (serves me right for not investing in clipless), and bam. On my ass again. In over 10000km of riding without a single fall. I go down twice in 30 minutes haha. So yeah, only a few cuts and bruises, but overall - not my night. Okay storytime is over for now🤣
