[QUOTE="Ari Rankum, post: 369147, member: 1861"] I don't like to read these. But I appreciate reading that you did due diligence and scouted the road first. It's a good lesson for us all that what you get for going to the trouble is a semi-infinite probability window that starts to deteriorate just as soon as you've scanned any particular piece of road. As time goes on, it's less and less likely the road looks as it did when you saw it. The Law of Increasing Entropy demands this. The piece of entropy most likely to kill me will be on a similar road, in an SUV, talking on her cell phone to her mom. She'll be in my lane and won't realize what she ran over until she finishes telling her mom the story that was more important than not killing people. No amount of scanning a road in advance uncovers the SUV coming at you in your lane on a blind corner. But, like you, I still like to scan roads in advance before I wick it up a bit. I also appreciate the pics of your gear. It's helpful to look at strike areas and consider my own gear. I hope you and your bike are all patched up in record time. Regards [/QUOTE]
