Happy camping.
Just a tiny close call, but it was my first.

I lost traction on what really felt like both wheels coming through a roundabout with some kind of dirt strewn sparsely across the asphalt. It had rained a few hours before which might have worsened the situation, because it didn't look slippery at all. Anyway, I felt the front tire slide less about a foot and immediately after the rear wheel followed. I regained traction and never lost my balance but it did get my heart racing for a few seconds.

Just to get back on the horse took a longer road home with a lot of roundabouts so I could get some serious leaning on.

Actually I think my purposeful leaning practice on my way home made me more confident with traction and lean angles than the slipping made me less confident. Good experience.
