newton got me

well lets just say that when you are a perfect physical specimen you have to be careful on wet roads. my 2000# legs press muscles got me... on a serious note i went out today in the wet to pratice "spinning" as i need it. well when you are spinning up a hill in a relativly small gear you must make alot of tourqe as i was pedalling up a hill tween 100-110 and there was a turn in the trail and it never dawned on me to let up on the pedals just keep going well the laws of physics conspired against me and the rear tire flung out from under me, "the pedal didnt hit the ground i wish it had i wouldnt feel so stupid", thats when "newton got me". it was kinda funny cause down every hill i was riding the brake to keep speed under say 12 mph never dawned on me that my unhuman strength would be my undoing.. there i go again. well i had to share cause every one needs a good laugh now n then. must get my mtb fixed for the suspect days. am i the only one that unlucky.
