    Hey you are a trooper...sorry about the bad advice I gave you....you manage pain very well!!! didn't think you could possibly have a break with the way you were getting along and how cordial and helpful you were to me and my partners in crime! Thanks a lot and I hope you recover quickly!!! We had a great time and it was nice meeting you!

    Sorry to hear it’s broken, but it falls in line perfectly with Murphy’s Law;
    • Time on your hands to ride + injury = SUCKS
    • Time on your hands to ride + no money = SUCKS
    • Time on your hands to ride + broke bike = SUCK
    • Time on your hands to ride + raining = SUCKS
    • Time on your hands to ride + drinking a Guinness for the pain = BRILLIANT!!
    Get well :beer:

    Gene,
    Glad you got that checked out, nice job not only finishing the ride, but sweeping with a broken rib.. Oh & not to forget that climb up South Ridge, which will haunt my dreams for ever! Hope your good for The Traverse!

    You've had enough time to heal.... where do you want to ride this weekend.???.. Notice I didn't say you could or would be riding... only where would you want to go riding?

    Call me if you want to chill out or talk... or need beer brought over.

    I was suppose to go on Ned's ride. I'll still go over to to his house and join in on the festivities after. You should come. I really wanted to do Bell Ridge Sat. I'm beginning to think that trail is avoiding me.

    I have a lot of bike parts to clean, take pics of and start posting them for sale. So that's what I'll be doing during the day while I'm off work for this week.

    Gene, sorry to hear about your rib. That can be a painful injury I had to sleep in my recliner for over a week when I broke mine.

    I hope your recovery goes well. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

    Take care,
    David

    Heal fast! Sounds painful. But with all the beer offerings I'm sure things will be just fine.
