    Have you missed me? Evidently I was on a typical Aliso ride on Sunday with a buddy and slipped out at the little step-up towards the top of Lynx. I don't remember. Woke up yesterday in Mission hospital with my face rearranged and my shoulder in a sling from a dislocation. Oooops.

    Just got home from hospital. I think I'll be off the bike for a few weeks. #-o I'll see if my buddy has any pics.

    Damn, is the bike OK? Concussion?
    Just under a year ago Lynx took me out. Healing vibes.

    I think it means botox. I'm guessing the story is all a front. :D

    Yes, thanks to your experience, I am extra cautious zipping past the rock on the left that took you out. I used to love that little step-up 75 yards down trail. I may need to be more cautious there now too.

    Sorry to hear it. Sounds like a concussion plus a face plant. Hope you get well soon and make a full recovery. Prayers sent.

    ya if its a concussion take it easy especially if you get headaches when you exercise again in a few weeks, you need to stop and prevent the headaches -- heal up

    My friend put my arm in a sling made from his Yeti t-shirt and walked me back to the top of Cholla. A couple of younger dudes helped. His wife initially came to pick us up in her car, but that didn't work so they called an ambulance. I have no memory of any of this.

    Well now we have Dave's rock and Chris' step-up on the first 100 yards of Lynx. That step-up is a hoot, but I remember that lefter right before the step-up being a little slippery at times, maybe the water from the storms pools there and leaves it gooey/slippery. Know you've done that hundreds of times very quickly, some odd times the stuff jumps out and bites like that (damn rock). You'll be back at it soon. :bang:
