Wide Open Spaces

I joined L in the saddle today, though I had two wheels under me, rather than four legs.

It was all going rather well until a downhill section over really stony ground.  It seems to me if I don’t fall off at least once, it hasn’t been a proper ride.  Whereas last year I managed a fall without being observed, today L (and Meg) watched as the rear wheel slewed away causing me to tip forward and head over the handlebars. Thankfully, other than a sore wrist and injured pride, I came out of it unhurt.
