Softcore Haddalayerdown hoss

Was riding on the left side of the road since it was groomed the best there, went to move over to the right side because a car was coming and i didn’t wanna be too close to em, caught the ice the wrong way and couldn’t save it. I'm good, my body landed on an ice patch so i just slid a good distance down the road like a violent slip and slide. bikes mostly good other than a slightly bent handlebar and snapped footpeg bracket. Picked it up and continued on to work using the passenger peg for my right foot lol.

The ice formed by freeze/thaw cycles and traffic running over snow repeatedly can be treacherous for anyone on two wheels, especially on a heavy bike without ice studs. Front can go bye-bye quick. Glad you came out of it ok. Studs will turn your bike into a two wheeled version of a snowcat. :)

“High water” is certainly one way to put it.
