Rode @hartshornewoods today. Was fun. Decided to take home a souvenir. So, which do you think hurts the most? 1) knee gash 2) shin bruise 3) ego 4) the fact I left my #raceface pads in the car Answer: yes tl;dr - stupid low speed clipless-induced topple slightly marred an otherwise awesome afternoon ride. So, yeah. Had fun spending the morning doing trail maintenance with some cool folks. Finished at noon, headed out for some exploring of the park. Previously planned to hit the BLUE trails (thx @trailforks) on Cuesta, Laurel Ridge(s). NO BLACK ANYTHING, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TM had us walking a lot of Cuesta, which was easy-peasy terrain wise. Assumed (there it is) Laurel would be similar. So, I thought to myself, do I need my knee/shin pads? It was kinda warm anyway and they're a tad sweaty. Nah, it'll be fine... Laurel quickly got a lot more technical than Cuesta but wasn't too bad. No shame in walking! Even managed to clean/power up some rooty, rocky sections I never thought I could. Yay me! Then came upon a loose rocky descent, nothing ridiculous. Lowered my dropper post, rolled in slow. Somehow unclipped on my left (I have GOT to tighten that damn SPD tensioner) and put my foot down in a weird spot, slipped, went down on that side with a thud. Of course, my kneecap aimed with laser precision at a large rock, left a nice skin sample there. Shin scrape was NBD but I knew the knee was gonna be an issue. Fortunately it was close to the end of the ride. Made it back to the car with no problems. Things I learned today: 1) my relatively ancient '06 Gary Fisher hardtail with its 100mm of Manitou front travel, TransX dropper and 1x10 Deore drivetrain is well suited to this park. I'll be back. 2). Wear the shin pads, wear the shin pads, WEAR THE GODDAMN SHIN PADS YOU STUPID FUCKING IDIOT. 3) If Laurel Ridge is a BLUE trail the BLACK trails (Grand Tour, Rocky Point) would not be any fun for me at all. 4) Next time I ride here, it'll be with locals who know the trails well. Still, a good day - GORGEOUS day - for a ride!👌 (at Hartshorne Woods Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVBppRRF-Z8/?utm_medium=tumblr
