Agreed! The woods is different! There are trees there than *will* just jump right out in front of you. And hitting the brakes while on loose gravel or wet leaves is a good way to test your 'quick dismount' skills. OTOH If you are going to hit something, having tires and springs out in front is better than counting on your face shield to save you. ;-) The closest I ever when to going down on the road was on the E street expressway (under the Kennedy center). It was a little wet. I hit those vinyl lane markers in the road and it was like ice. They had so many markings on the road I thought I was never going to find asphalt again. The guys behind me said they thought I was down about 3 times but I managed to get it upright and going again with nothing but a little peg scraping and a boost in my heart rate. |
