[QUOTE=stapfam;Mountain bike ride today. It's 2 miles to the offroad bit and I stayed upright till the last 200yards Then Ross- the rider in front me- went over and I did the same out of Sympathy. I know it was Icy but to fall off with so little to go before the fun began was a bit dispiriting. Wasn't the last fall of the morning either.[/QUOTE]

Ouch, hope your ok, I did that 2 weeks ago and even now when I lay on my left thigh I can still feel a bit of tenderness!! Being slamed to the ice covered pavement is NO FUN!!
