I ditched today for the first time in non mountain biking conditions that I can remember. I rode up onto the sidewalk to get off and lock up my bike. I slowed down to look at something, unclipped my left foot, and got off my bike.

Or at least I tried to. I got off the wrong way, forgetting that my right foot was still clipped in. Lots of traffic and one guy at the crosswalk just stared. Actually the guy was friendly. We laughed about it.


The good news is the bike isn't harmed, nor am I . I didn't completely fall over, I just sort of tipped to the side and caught myself with my arm. Nothing but the tires and my arm ever touched the ground.

On the brighter side, I am now officially done with High School classes. So... four-plus more years of school now.
