leprechaun
n : a mischievous elf in Irish folklore
So there I was, minding my own damned business, zingin' down a real nice smooth, fairly clear section of road in the vicinity of where the Monarch crest trail turns into the Rainbow trail and, BAM!!! all of a sudden the bike & I are sideways (horizontal) up in the air coming in for a touchdown at mach II. Of course by the time we hit I'm sure the bike was higher... You all know how that goes, right? Well, we disapeared into a fog of dust & almost piled up against a tree about 30-40 ft further along said "nice, smooth" road.
Oooooouuuuuuuccccccchhhh!!!!! Mu*%#t&%#*h@&$r F*^#k#@&r !!!! The left side of my body from my shoulder to my ankle is beat to crap.
WTF?!? I mean WTF?!? No, really, WTF?
I have no clue as to what happened. We looked at tracks - a single skid mark for a few feet, not really anything in the way of rocks... Possibly a stick got in the spokes & locked up the front tire ? - unlikely.
I'm goin' with that mischievous lil' bastard the leprechaun - after all, I'm Irish and it was right there by the Rainbow trail & it had been rainin'.![]()
