I was sliding and keeping it up all the way across (I hit it going very fast) until the end where there was a large metal lip. My turned wheel hit it, up and over with a tuck and roll....down a small ravine into a blackberry bush. Blackberry prickers on lycra is sort of natures velco. A hilarious mess. Just scratches......on the bike.
Probably worst crash was a broken seat post. I woke up to ambulance drivers around me. That killed my 1991 PBP plans.
i like blackberries, were they worth it?
