If you are like me, you tend not to ride on days when it is raining. But with all the rainy days at this time of year, we often ride after a day with heavy rain. At this time of year, there are places with wet leaves on the ground that are SLIPPERY! Late in the fall, we had a club member break her hip after taking a fall caused by sliding out while running over a clump of wet leaves. So, after a rainy day, or while riding through a damp canyon, be especially careful around wet leaves on the road.
