Crash!
 

Exactly one month ago today, I hit a deer with my truck, and hit a telephone pole. Today, I hit a piece of concrete in the road in the exact same spot on my bike. Flatted both tires, and went over the handlebars. What kind of coincidence is that?

Maybe there is a central spot of evil there?

how is the ride?

any scrapes?

Prob'ly the deer put the concrete there as payback. Deers are real bastids like that. My dad hit a deer driving home from work when I was a kid. Eleventeen years later, my dad's leaving the local bar with our neighbor, and the same deer steps out of a dark alley and sucker punches him. No joke.

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

I am so aggravated, I just jerked the wheels off the bike, threw it on the repair stand, and will fool with it this weekend. I think wheels are out of true, right brifter needs to be taken apart, has dirt jammed all inside, carbon fork has a scrape, but maybe not too bad...I'll ride the slow bike till I fix it up I guess.

Man that sucks. I'll pour you a scotch ... ;)

Sorry about your truck.. your bike... an' the deer :(

... I'm glad you're ok :)

go play the lotto ;)

I know that deer. I was boozing it up one night, next thing I know, I wake up in a tub full of ice and both my kidneys are gone and my wallet's empty and there's hoof marks all over the joint.

How about we all just split the bottle ...

Maybe that spot is an evil sink. Never heard of that, but has anyone else found any gravity sinks on their commutes. I know of a couple of places that are way harder to climb through than their grades would indicate. I'm not talking about false flats. These are 3-4% grades that feel like 6. Spooky.

Like these?

Wow! No, not that spooky. Guess I shouldn't complain.

I took a different route home today...5 miles further, but I think I feel a little less of the "There Heeere!" phenomenon!!!
