So I seem to have misplaced my "flow". The last week or so, I just have struggled going down hill. It is not fluid, but almost choppy. It is driving me nuts.

Last night, Chris and I climbed up past the "
snow slide" which has since melted. But dumped a ton of debris. They (I am not sure who they are but I am grateful to them) built a trail/track through the debris field so the trail can continue up. We were able to reach the snow slide again. I am not sure if this one is going to melt by the first snow this coming season.

As we were coming back down, just past the track through the debris field I went down twice...probably within the same minute. Seriously. The first one was nothing the special, I hit a rock and went down to the side. Whatever.The second one was a bit more spectacular. Based on the visible and felt contact points I must have again hit my front wheel this time on a somewhat hidden rock which caused my handlebars to twist. They, length wise, hit my chest/abdomen leaving an interesting abrasion. I then continued forward, hit the fat pad on my left hand (leaving a bruise). My head hit next and I forward rolled and hit my back/shoulder before coming to a stop.
Nothing too bad...but I miss my flow. If you by chance find it I would like it back.

I've lost mine too. Two crashes on downhills during my last two rides have left me scratching my head.
What trail is that?
I believe it is part if the great western trail above the "area 51" (trail 051) turn off.
I hope you get it back in time for next weekend. I will be cheering for you. I know you'll kill the 50mi distance!
