Well, I was going a little quick and the thing was heavier than I thought... WHACK! I kicked it, and it did move off the roadway into the ditch. But I also broke 2 of my toes and had to finish the remaining 25 or so miles like that.
Ouch! Done that before. Didn't break toes but it hurt pretty dern bad! now Superman just pretends he doesn't see heavy stuff inthe road!
...Actually I stop and remove it. Once on the trail, we encountered a barrier from one side to the other made of large rocks. Maybe 2X2Ft each. Some dope had placed them there hoping to cause a rider to crash. I dismounted and removed the rocks. I looked up to see about 6 teens looking my way. Maybe 30 yards away. I glared at them then they took off. Good thing cause I think I could have taken all 6!
