Sorry to hear that happened! We missed you on the course racing but it was great to see you there as the great supporter you always are on Sunday! Heal quick.

I got a bruise on my hip from that same tree. On Friday I clipped my bars on it and got ejected down the hill on the right. Good thing I didn't hit rocks. I say we have a chainsaw party when you heal.

I honestly don't know if it was the tree that actually did the damage, or the rock pile I got catapulted into. I should send someone on a recon mission to check for the blood/flesh trail.....

Damn Nancy. Sorry to hear about that. I was wondering where you guys were at the end of practice on Saturday. I bet it was the same tree that put a big rip in my body armor when I went by. Right behind the water tower and just before that plywood?? I almost ate it but was able to ride it out. Hope you heal up quick and I will see you on the trail soon.

Doh! Hope you heal fast!

It's always those times when you decide not to put some bit of armor on that you end up needing it..
