Right when we get there, my dad decides to try out the bear spray. He figures since there's barely any wind, it'll be easy not to get any bear spray on ourselves. Well, actually when there's barely any wind, the bear spray just hangs out in the same general area. So everyone gets a face full of bear spray. That stuff is not exactly fun to get in your eyes, and the effects don't go away for a long time.
We bike up, take a walk down a mini trail, and then are biking down when Gage and I speed up. Then a sharp turn comes up, and I barely make it around without crashing. I see Gage just behind me going way too fast, and he crashes right into the side of the hill past the turn. He has bruises and a few scrapes, but he was lucky enough not to be too injured.
I just looked up how to treat bear spray if it gets on your skin, because my arms and legs burn a little bit still. Apparently showers only serve to irritate it more. So whoop-de-whoop for this girl, who just took a shower. Agh.
