The only time I've ever fallen was 180 miles in the Seattle to Portland ride. I wasn't even tired or anything, I just pulled up to get water, and... down I went. I was in the middle of telling a story to like 10 of my buddies... There were a ton of people watching so that made it embarrassing, but I've never shot up off the ground so fast before.
