I felt like a beaten person that day.
We had a rider coming the other way wipe out and slide into our path. My friend ran right into him and endo'ed and almost ended up in the stream; my rear slid out when I tried to stop and I went down on my left side. I guess I should be glad it was smooth wood rather than rough pavement. So far, this has been my only bike accident (knocking on wood)..
