Know When to Quit.

You may have had a great day riding, but it always ends sometime. But when?

I was thinking it was time to pack it in. The sun was moving lower in the sky, but I wanted to stay on. I flirted with trying out the night terrain. But then I was almost taken out by punk rider.

Often, you plan your day and act accordingly. At other times, you just have to respond to the situation as it changes, almost by intuition.

When I was almost hit, I took that as a sign from God: it’s time to quit for the day.

Seriously, injuries often occur when you push yourself just a bit too far. Maybe it’s best to leave just a little bit before you want to. Not only does it keep you wanting to go back, it may make the difference in you being able to go back.
