This is exactly what I thought on my rides this weekend. The roads in SW Michigan are in horrendous shape with huge ruts, many areas torn up from plowing in the winter, etc. I had to do a little cyclocross and go across someone's lawn at one point to avoid a really bad patch. (It was clear they did the same thing with their car so I did not feel bad.) I kept thinking "momentum is my friend; you can make it over this too." My teeth are still chattering.
