I went clipless this summer on my mt bike. I actually bought the bike in Colorado, while visiting my Mom. The first day out, my husband and brother and I rode up to the top of Boreas Pass. Not technical, but 6 miles uphill. As we approached the parking lot on the way down, I went off on a side trail and tried a few log overs. When I got to the truck the guys were waiting for me, and I was so excited, yelling " I jumped a log, I jumped a log". Well I forgot I was clipped in and went down pretty hard. Smacked my helmet, cut my hand.
And wouldn't you know, there standing in the parking lot, are a gang of Aussie dudes finishing their ride at the same time. They looked over at me like I was nuts.
I still have not lived it down.....the guys bring it up every chance they get.
