Exposure....?

[mtnbikej]

For me.....exposure is about don't fall off the side of the trail. Could be 25'...could be 300'...doesn't matter.

Weather/elements is not exposure

Exposure - the kind where there's a cliff or super-steep hillside to the side of the trail
Exposure - the kind where you are subject to unfriendly weather - high winds, high temps, lightning, blizzards, etc.
Exposure - the kind depicted with the naked lass above (courtesy of @Cornholio)
Exposure - the kind in the military where you are a highly vulnerable target
Exposure - financial risk
Exposure - legal liability as in negligence or fraud
Exposure - any situation that reveals a true lack of competency (like, being president, for example)
Exposure - light hitting film

Am I missing any? Have I exposed another of my weaknesses?

Gold.

Exposure and I don't get along. I can ride trails that are narrow, rocky. rutted, but put that trail next to a cliff, and I am out. I am a "what if" person, and I suffer from Vertigo, so those exposed trails are not on my list of "to do" trails.

I'm mostly with you on that, but I've found that my tolerance has increased quite a bit. Motorway doesn't bother me at all; SART was manageable; the FLoop is still sketchy.

There are limits I won't exceed, and I'm not real concerned with how others see that.

I actually laughed out loud. Well done.

And unlike my friend @Redman, I have peripheral vision. And it warns me of danger. Can't help it.

I saw this many yrs ago as a newbie, it had me wobbly for a bit.
As I watch it now it’s not the big deal I made it out to be

So that's why your eyes are on the side of your head. Now I understand.

No manual focus mode?

No manual focus mode?

To some degree, but it's always active. Highly beneficial in sports performance in most contexts. Maybe not so much in alerting me to danger I wish to ignore.

Exposure was experienced on today's ride in the San Gabes.

^^This is my definition of exposure too

If, in the event I crash, I can recite my favorite limerick before I stop falling/tumbling, that's exposure.

I think @mtnbikej got a pretty good description.
