I was strangely error prone yesterday. I rolled into a tunnel that I misjudged and everything went pitch black. I had to come to a stop to pull the sunglasses off. It was so dark I didn't realize I hadn't come to a stop when I put my feet down. Stupid mistake. 

On NC 80, The Devil's Whip, coming downhill to a sharp 10mph right hander, I missed a shift and ended up in neutral for a moment which caused a moment's panic. 

The night before I lost situational awareness on NC 28 and misremembered a turn. I got surprised, panicked, went way wide and nearly crashed. 

I have not made mistakes like this in literally years. By the end of yesterday I found myself feeling very tentative on the bike. 

I spent the morning and laid out a rather nice elaborate route that includes NC 80, Roan Mountain, Double Island Road, The Snake, SR 80, and Back fo the Dragon ...
