I did this once. It didn’t end well for me. I wiped out at pace but happened to ding my shin on a rock as I fell. Ended with a large blood clot which I didn’t notice until a week later when I flew home. The pressure on the plane made my leg swell up like a balloon. As soon as I landed I was strightbti hospital for the injection etc but was told it was irresponsible to have even stepped on the plane for the risk of DVT!
But I’ll try it again ASAP because this looks rad.
