    This was what happened to my riding partner's knee after getting caught in a rut. Pretty nasty considering you could basically see his kneecap. Ech. Doctor said the hole was too wide to be stitched/stapled.

    But nothing a month off the bike and a cold beer couldn't solve. :beer:

    ^ The first picture was at least 2 weeks after the crash. (Aka, it was a lot worse initially)

    This picture was taken at the Rim Nordic 12 hr (about 2 months after the initial crash). He managed to crash, dislodge his bandage, and stuff the hole full of Big Bear Dirt... All in the first lap, he still finished 12 hrs Solo. :clap:

    Ouch! That looks like crap--and he did it again in Big Bear?? You would think he'd learn and buy some pads!
