Glad everyone is recovering. I was fortunate to learn about wet tracks from a young man in front of me. Was on the York County Heritage Trail when the thunderstorm came. We were racing for the tunnel for shelter. Didn't make it BTW. Anyway Trail crosses from one side of tracks to other, and young guy being faster then this olde guy, hit the tracks on an angle and down he went. After some cuss words he did mention he should have known better regards wet tracks. I've since learned that heavy painted road markings are also slippery when wet. And as they discovered on the Giro d'Italia, so are cobble stones.
