Sorry, I published out of order . . . but maintained chronology. Two posts down is "Over the Divide," accounting an epic little day of riding. And I almost stepped into this manhole lacking a cover - I wonder if anyone keeps stats on how many people fall into these things? A brief google reveals open manholes to be a world wide problem, especially in Asia during the rainy season when you can get swept away and drown . . . what a crappy way to go. However, in places where people walk the streets to collect aluminum cans for weight (not deposit) you can be sure any unsecured hunk of iron is going to be harvested.
