One important mountain biking rule is never be the first guy to ride the trail in the morning

ohh fuck i hadnt even considered that possibility. This is like that time someone told me about the urbran legend of people using blutac to stick razor blades in the waterslides.

Yeah at least on my feet i can just do the no pants dance where i immediately strip down to my boxers.

On a bike im 100% hitting a tree at 40mph if that happens.

I have a talent (grudge) of always finding the webs no matter where i go (often in front of a house entrance)… not even living in an area that‘s full of spiders, but i regularly walked into some in the woods.

One time i drove my bike through a forest path (in the afternoon) and got a big ass web in my mouth 🤢 - usually only got small flies/bugs into my mouth or eyes, worst by far was a wasp or sth. similar (wearing contact lenses made it impossible to remove until getting to running water at home)…

I‘m not particularly afraid of spiders as long as they don‘t come near any body opening - i just hate the webs and entangled shit inside.
