Don’t. Look. Down.

This via Treadly and Me:

There are probably ageing mountainbikers out there who’d call this a piece of “gnarly single-track”. Just watching the video scares the Bejasus out of me. I look at it and I start to feel light-headed and sick, and my legs start to shake with fear. I may even have had an involuntary bladder accident at just over a minute in.

Still, each to his own.

    Hey Mitch! Always a pleasure to hear from you. This year I’m going to e working on getting back to running by addressing my persistent injury’s root cause. With a little transatlantic travel and a whole lot of luck, maybe we’ll get to try this route out together?

    Cyclists are always whining about the infrastructure. Here we have a perfectly decent path, scenic, not even any cars parked on it, yet now you complain about the restroom facilities.

    Any idea where is that track?

    @dr2chase - I know. Good is just never good enough for some people, is it?

    @Tng - sorry, but I’ve no idea. Clicked through to the original Youtube page, but they don’t seem to say.
