I GOT MY ROLL BACK 
I got down everything shiny-side up. Only capsized once - front surfing the little wave at the bottom of S-bend, fell out of it and got flipped over - and swam
Maybe I like this sport after all

BIKE UPDATE!
After missing out on a nice little English 531 framed 1990s Falcon I found this for $40
It's a Miyata 310, probably 1984, with Miyata's own triple-butted Cr-Mo tubeset and MangaLight fork. The front wheel looks to have been replaced at some point, but it's a nice although rather skinny Ambrosio Extra Elite 19 on a 105 hub. The rear wheel looks original - an Araya 27x1 alloy on a traditional Suzue cup'n'cone

(unfortunately it looks like the tire might be original too!)
Brakes are Shimano Z-series (BR-Z57 calipers + BL-Z326 drilled non-aero levers)
Probably the nicest and most unusual feature is the very early Shimano 105 'Arrow' groupset. I was planning on making this a single-speed conversion but the Arrow is so pretty I may just have to leave it on
The freewheel is an early 600 'IG'
She seems to be cleaning up nicely although when I popped the rear skewer the axle fell out in pieces 
Cover: I.W
Obstacle: XX (Judgement)
Crown: XXI (The World)
Foot: VII.W
Moving from: XIX (The Sun)
Moving into: VII.S
Attitude: K.W
Environment: V.C
Hopes/fears: II (The High Priestess)
Future: 0 (The Fool)
The situation at hand is the awakening of insight (I.W). The querant has already taken his stand (VII.W), but is is aiming for perfect conciousness (XIX - The World). It seems that his progress to date (XX - Judgement) is hindering, rather than helping, his present endeavours.
The next two cards seem to have a particularly Buddhist interpretation: XIX (The Sun) representing attachment to the material and sensual; and VII.S concerning victory (seven) over the sense-world - the card depicts a figure carrying away five of the seven swords, possibly the five senses [2].
The querant's own attitude (K.W) may be an acknowledgement either of his satisfactory foundation (the previous VII.W) or of the obstacle (XX) of thinking his work is already done. His environment (V.C) dwells on past losses - the spilled cups - rather than present opportunites: a change of perspective is called for. However, he fears to really 'go there' (II - The High Priestess - internal knowledge). Perhaps what's required (0 - The Fool) is for his "soul [to go] in search of experience" [1].
