That sucks Michael, hope you all get better soon.

had a scary moment on saturday- I was in the back of a 30ish bike pace line running about 22-25 mph in the flats...Watched a lady hit a bubble in the asphalt in the front 1/3 of the line, and launch herself into a tree. tree was 25' down the path. she was off the ground the whole time. She was seperated from the bike, spum 180 degrees, before she hit 2 other trees near the bottom of the ditch (about 10' lower than the trail).

I thought she died. I was quite relieved to see her talking to her friend at the bottom of the ditch. (I was the 2nd bike that stopped.)

major hip contusion, and concussion were the only real injuries (minor scrapes too). Her helmet was broken... thank goodness for

The ride had over 3800 riders (ms150 record), and raised over 3 million dollars.
Good job stopping and helping.

Dustin ... Nice to know that someone will still stop to help.

Thanks everyone! If this follows the same pattern as Katie, tomorrow should start getting better. I should probably head to bed and get some sleep. I should take NyQuil for a date.

Good morning Dennis, Jim and MN.

Another cool day in paradise today. Gonna be a long week for me, 12 days to be exact! Pool is kinda getting to me already. It is not level and is taking a lot of FN water. I have made 7-8 trips already and it is not full yet. WTF!

Sorry to hear about Bailey Chris. She is probably hanging with our old dog Justus.

Good morning FTE! Still staying home today. Starting to feel better but my throat is still really raw and sore.

Only one stack? If your going to do stacks, its gotta be dual. Looks funny otherwise.
