There’s a sign I must have read years ago but can’t remember. Passed by this location so many times I couldn’t count.

The trail builders have used chicken wire on some of the steeper skinnies we have around here but tend to avoid it as much as possible, Crashing on it is like crashing on a cheese grater on your legs and arms!

Had a nice day out on my Specialized Turbo Levo Expert on Ohlins and Cascade linkage. Also upgraded all AXS.
Love this bike!

Hey Zimm……looks like a jetty there that needs repairing the next time you fracture your sternum
Yeah…our nice weather let’s us wear our E-Speedos more often while riding.
I don’t like the chicken wire on small bridges. Aluminum expanded metal can be helpful but it’s very expensive. A cross-hatch pattern on a flat bridge surface is almost as good as raw-split-cedar.
Either way …slipping off a bridge sucks. A taco rotor or a face-plant is not a nice result.
Face plant I know but Taco Rotor? Can you explain to a nosy guy as Guugle doesn‘t help.
It’s like a taco wheel …only smaller. You’ll need a rock-hammer, or a T-25, to straighten out the rotor just to get home. For gawd’s sake don’t try to eat it.

Completely different understanding on this side of the Atlantic. I thought more about body injuries than material damages.Face plant:

I’m out today too - waterproofs prepared!
Similar here, one bright side was that the torrential rain continued so the bit on the road back to the house actually cleaned most of the crap off so it only need a light towel off to get it back into an indoors acceptable (If you live alone) state of "pretty yukky". If you don't live alone it would still fall into the category of "Don't even think about bringing that in here".

It is surprising how many bike-related items can be bought for a biker that are not actually usable on a bike! I always thank them anyway.
