The last obstacle on the ‘ride around the lake’ is a rather sheer traverse down the face of a dam. The rider’s style is to hang ones fanny out over the rear wheel. This distributes the weight aft lessening the chance of an end-o (end-over-end). I was briefly into it when I realized that there were influences that I hadn’t factored properly. The grassy slope was newly mowed (scalped close), and soft red clay mud exposed. The surface was treated with heavy moisture from last light rain, fog, and mist. Whooop! Both wheels slid out and down I went. Not a header. The angle gap between upper torso and the steep terrain merely closed up. That’s all. Mud and dirt fouled body side and moving parts. No injury to report. Nothing to see here folks.
