    That sucks!!!! I am fairly new to the fully loop thursday ride, were you in the group and if so were you riding the red SS. In any case heal quick and get back on the bike.

    Dude that sucks! I think I saw you on the new red SS Fixation whip crossing Laguna Lake (that's were we start and end). I had just chatted with Dino a couple of minutes before. Sorry to hear, man.

    Sorry to hear that. I was late on the group ride last night (as usual) but didn't hear anyone talked about a crash.

    Never underestimate the Fully Loop! It can take anyone out when it is least expected.

    Healing vibe to you and hope you'll have a speedy recovery.

    Cheers,

    Well that's fine, though I am not sure how that relates to Proraptor's accident. I will concede that Fullerton loop has the potential for being more dangerous due to the fact that it does cross quite a few streets but with caution it isn't any more dangerous than riding on the road.

    How do you score one against the Loop? Take an axe to a tree?

    Oh man Tom..That sucks. At the end of the ride too. If you were going to break it, you should have just taken the drop and broke it that way, would of been a heck of a story :)

    Heal up soon man...hope to see you out on the night rides again soon.

    Welcome to the club.

    If it's a single break 6-8 weeks is what they say but it can take longer as I can attest to as my last one took probably about 10-12 weeks. I will admit I don't follow the docs rules that well.
