Subject: Crashed my Mountain bike (and loved it)I make it a point NOT to crash on my Road bike. Not that anyone crashes on purpose...but hi-speed road crashes tend to be ugly. So I took my mountain bike out yesterday...and crashed hard (not on purpose ).
It was one of those flying over the handlebars, saying a prayer, and screaming type crashes...the kind that ends with a tremendous thud, followed by an involuntary burst of profanity. The point is...it was GREAT. It hurt, but I wasn't actually injured...so I got this great adreneline rush...had a good laugh (at my stupidity )...and really enjoyed the rest of the ride. What's more, my wife and kids got a good laugh when I came home covered in mud...showing off my scratches and bruises.
I know it sounds strange...but I should crash more often.
