The New Normal…
I wake up, I work, I ride bikes, repeat. If you noticed, I am on helmet #3 of the year. I started the year with my old Fox helmet, which, this is gross, had a plastic strap dissolve from friction and sweat. Nearly a thousand miles is not kind to equipment. I replaced that helmet with a nice Giro, while I only had it a short time. I got my money’s worth out of it.
I had a huge accident off a small feature. It was just a small jump, but I came off it wrong and was certain I could ride it out. I didn’t ride it out. I landed smack on top of my head, cracking my helmet, cutting my thigh, and damn near knocked me out. Always wear a helmet, you never know when that little thing will catch you out.
I take the kids with me when they find the weather agreeable. This month’s photo features Danielle.
