Wow, that's gnarly. Sorry that I couldn't make the ride, but I'm even more sorry about the casualties. I wish every rider down, either from this ride or any other ride, as fast a recovery as possible.

I've got that in my left forearm. Sorry you have to have it done, Keith. Hope you heal up quick and fast so we can see you on the trails sooner rather than later.

With the additional weight on one side only he may end up doing small doughnuts all day...


Hope your feelin better soon

Default More carnage?
WOW! I dropped off Christian after Thursdays ride and when I got home I had to go to work. I just now got back in and read all the posts! You guys have been busy! I have been riding this trail for 3 years now with many different groups. This last few weeks must be the law of averages catching up. I can't recall one person I've rode with saying they broke anything on the loop. I'll know next week if I will need surgery. I just want to get back on my bike! Speedy recovery to you Keith. Sorry you didn't get your Ti parts as ordered... maybe next time... JK. Xavier... how bad did you get it? Hopefully the injured can be of some use at Roscoe's next Thursday... maybe for Dino to poke fun at or something. Thanks to CC and Slowspokes, and anyone else that stayed with Christian on the ride. It means a lot to us. Thanks for the brownies CC! Did I forget anything?

Man, the lengths some will go to for their STR fix. New forum, maybe?

A little extreme, Keith, but I like your commitment!

Huge thanks to Ann & Andy for dropping my car/bike off earler today.
Not good news about the bike however. Damage found so far: Front Crossmax SL is totally taco'd. Fox Fork steerer tube is severely bent. Brake lever mount cracked in half, CK headset ruined, Rear SL wheel has a spoke ripped out of the hub flange. Looks like its new bike time! Pics to follow...........

You really do not &%^# around when you crash do you!!!!!!!!!!!!! It sounds by the state of the bike you are quite lucky to have gotten off with the broken arm...

Well here's to new beginnings

Head angle permanently favours XC now



Brake lever mount cracked in half. Note that CNT bars are intact



Crossmax SL goes all Mexican on me



Frame 'appears' to be crack free altho needs LDP testing



Rear spoke torn from hub flange





Note tree bark embedded in stem bolt heads!



Lets hope the frame is still A1 although to be honest its looking like new bike time.

Yo Keith. I feel horrible about your crash. No one wants to go down that hard and end up with broken limbs. Take care and heal up fast. See you on trails soon enough!!

Come home and hear all this....woe. Hope all you guys heal up quick. That is some serious crashing there,Keith. I was taught a long time ago not to use trees as breaks. It works, but there's always some other payment to be made. Take care of the limey,Sarah. See you soon,Keith.

wow man, obviously we were way more concerned with your carnage that night and only noticed the semi-taco'ed wheel. your bike really took a beating as well.

put your feet up and enjoy some beers now, heal up soon!
