Great that you fished something positive out of a tumble. Glad you're OK. The other day I was riding up Montezuma Rd toward SDSU, which is not steep, but generally no fun. There was a fellow on a loaded LHT who was riding way ahead of me, and by the time I caught him, he was walking his rig. As I passed him, I asked - "you OK? Got what you need?" And the glare from him could have gone through steel. As I passed, I realized he was just tired.
