Crash site on the Luce Line Trail

Just east of Hwy 100 and north of Hwy 55. I decided to take a different path home, to see if the trails were clear yet. Obviously they weren't, and, as I came around the corner and hit this huge patch of ice I lost control of the Pugsley and went down pretty hard.

If you look closely you can see my helmet mirror in the snow. I ame back a couple of hous later to find it, not realizing until later that it had been knocked off.

Overall, the ride was tough because so much of the trail was impassable, but it finally dawned on me to deflate the tires down to around 5psi to get the full effect of the Pugsley and I was back in business for the last ¾ mile of trail I had left before hardtop. Up to that point I think I walked/pushed the bike through over a half mile of this slushy, icy mess!

It will be a nice ride when the trail clears up.
