Another rough night on the Loop. 4 down in 2 weeks. Heal quick guys! Thanks for bringing out the jerseys Boats. I'll be riding someplace mellow & safer next week like Bell Ridge. Jk. Like Wrecker says, we should do some sort of ceremony before each ride to protect us from further carnage. Thanks for the brownies and cake CC. Here are a few pics I shot of the ride.

holy ch!t man. what the f is going on at the loop. Think Steve jackson is tossing some bad juju at STR. Apparently my virgin (sacrificial) ride the day prior did not appease the trail gods??? Who's bringing the lamb next week?

Healing vibes to all down riders!!!

Sorry to hear about the injuries, again!
I think the Loop might be telling you guys something?

[soul rider]

i am perplexed by the damage the loop is inflicting.
i hope all heal with no problems.
no light + steep hills = pain

[Keith B]

Thanks for all the kind words guys . Got a double break in my arm (explains why I looked down and saw it was bent like a bananna) and have to go back to hospital for surgery today. The doc says they'll probably put pins and a plate in it.

Big thanks to Brett, Andy, Ann, the 911 guys and of course Sarah who's doing an awesome job of looking after me. I owe you all the worlds largest beer Apologies if i forgot anyone but I was abit out of it.

Keith, man sorry to hear this... hope it all goes well in the recovery.

Heal up quick Keith! *does healing vibes dance*

[sheclimbs]

Hey Keith sorry to hear about your bad break. Sending you quick healing vibes. Hope to see you back on the trails very soon. Make sure they give you a little Morphine today. At least that way you'll be smiling when the surgery is over.

Did you say you owe BEERS to those who assisted you? In that case, you owe HoosierDaddy a beer. You owe Bryce (my neighbor) a beer. You owe SarBoats a beer. They noticed there was NO computer on your bike. Were you riding with one?

Hmmm... I am forgetting..... Oh yeah! You may want to PM Dino Brown (a thank you) for riding back to retrieve his STR ambulance (i.e. his truck). While you are at it PM The Iron Horse bicycle company (search and rescue division). It seems the past (2) weeks, all they have been doing is rescuing BROKEN Specialized bikes from the trail.

What I am trying to say is---- CHECK your PM "My Bro-tha." How funny is my PM going to be now? (inside joke)

[Sprockethead]

Keith, check your PM.

Hey dude, sorry about the down. I came upon the aftermath, me and 2 riders went up the hill at the dam, and when we came down from cactus turn we saw the ambulance pulling in. Props to the FD on the quick response..

Except for the carnage it was a good ride, The last half had a nice pace, as we were chasing daylight. the daylight won. Huge thanks to Dino. By buddy totally appreciated all the newb help. and a big thanks to whoever picked him up after his crash in the golf course. I think rob(?) got a picture of the knee carnage It was his first real down, and we got photo proof. we will be back next week, hopefully it will be without any redflags.......

heal fast everyone!

[Fired Yo Momma]

Keith, I hope you get better. Thats too bad about your arm. CC those brownies were yum good, sorry I took two but its not my fault they stick. D Brown thanks for the brew although your pimp status went down one point from you drinking that club soda/root beer thingy. I think you can rebound from that.

[allison]

Wow, dude! Hope Keith is doing okay. Maybe when he gets back on the bike I'll be able to keep up with him

Healing vibes!

[Von-Skipp]

Thanks for the RR guys. SOrry to hear about your arm Keith. I've been trying to ride the loop with you guys for weeks. I'm kind of scared to come out there now!!

[ShinKen]

Dannggg Keith!! very sorry to hear about your accident!! get well soon ehh!!

[jasonmason]

Quite a bummer hearing about all the injuries last night...hope y'all heal up quick and get back out there soon!

Big thanks to everybody that was out last night - I had a great time out there for my first big fully loop social ride! I'm still working on getting all the names down, but meeting my long lost dad at Roscoes kinda overwhelmed me I guess! See y'all at Irvine or Summit this weekend, and definately next thursday...
