New Bike Route, First Spill in a Long Time

This is my old route.

This is my new route.

It skims 100 meters off my trek, and replaces two hills that require a little work to one hill I can practically coast up.

Unfortunately, most of the new route is a dirt road, and part of it is a foot path through the woods and around some building. On the way home from work yesterday I went over this concrete slab lying across the path, but took little note of it because it was just a drop, not a real obstruction. This morning, however, going the other direction, going quickly, going through the morning dew with shitty brakes, it was a definitely a real obstruction. It obstructingly sent my ass tumbling over the handle bars and onto the ground is what it did! You know what, though? It was worth it to find out that I'm still young enough to take a spill like that with no lasting pain and ride the rest of the way to work with no delay.
