    I ran over a rock

    The other day I ran over a small but noticeable rock.

    I did it again today.

    Just wondering.... Do you wear any kind of hy-vis eyewear? They work real well for spotting stuff ; dips/bumps/deer/rocks/fluids/etc.....

    Any light colour from yellow to orange works well.

    That's a great idea. GFR, all you need to do is walk the entire length of your intended ride and clear the path of any debris. The military does this every day.
