Another day on the bike, ~~ruined~~
So I have a good follow up from my last post!
Last night while we were at a church activity... I had asked a good friend if she wanted to go for a cycle the next day (today) and she had agreed, so we had organised everything and then we were set to go for a ride!!
So Today just after school had ended I walked over to the bathroom and got dressed into my cycling clothes and then walked to the car so that I can get dropped off at the cycling location. We got there and waited for just under 5 minutes for another friend and as soon as he had arrived.. WE WERE OFF!!!
As we were riding we all decided on a group decision that we wanted to go and chase Strava Segments to see if we can get any of them for ourselves... So Strava is a cycling timer/tracker/trainer, and a Segment is a certain area or track mapped out by someone else that you can compete against other people by getting a better time than them. We had decided to go for a Segment called Dan's Downhill, its simple yet fast paced, there's only one problem with it, there is literally no room for error, and if you so happen to mess up, you are going to fall on the red sand and big rocks, the next time we go ride there I'll be sure to get a picture of it.!!
As we were approaching the segment, we decided to just do a test run to see if we actually can get the segment XD XD... we were going down and started to gather info as to where we should ride and which line we should take to make it faster. We finished there and then waited for Brian to go down on his own and we would time him to see if its possible, he came down and said that we should do this in a train, and we did!! We got to the top and hydrated, then we counted down and GO!!!, we all started speeding ahead but leaving enough room around each other if we so happen to fall... I was in the middle of us 3 and was able to go at a decent speed, (no pun intended XD XD XD) as we took the first corner we realized that we were going way to fast, unfortunately Brian ( who was infront of me) was unable to brake in time and was forced to go aver a big rock... As he landed his backwheel to the ground his wheel had smashed against another huge and sharp rock that put a massive dent into his rim:
He kept going while his wheel was deflating to see if he could get to the bottom safely and ended up getting his wheel stuck in a Rut, this then sent him off of his bike and into the Bushes, Yet within a second he had stood up and told us he was fine XD XD, it didn't look like it though:
The first thing he asked was if his bike was OK, he had gotten his bike just 2 weeks ago and didn't want any major damage done just yet, well we learned a valuable lesson today... don't get a puncture XD XD XD, I can't speak though since I am very Prone to bad things happening on my bike!!! XD XD XD
