Let's see...I've been taken out thrice by other bikes, twice by cops (true story), 4 times (or so) by cars, 3 times by deer, 3 times by myself- none of which were the fault of gravel, and once by engine failure.

Oh no, every time something like this happens I'm always assured that "God is looking out for me" and that I am in fact, "one lucky son of a bitch"...

I got another scheduled lonely ride for tomorrow coming up!

I could use a change of scenery.

Shit, I've been shot, stabbed, had a bad jump, several car accidents, fell off a moving APC, hit twice by cars on my bicycle, have had throat cancer twice, and other generally dangerous activities...
