yup I was getting on it a bit harder than usual... but not harder than I've done before... it was pure lack of concentration and being too lackadaisical about it.

though I will say thank god for my gear... had I been wearing sneekers shorts and a t-shirt... I'd be in some serious pain right now... definite broken ankle... maybe a busted elbow... and lots of rash on my arm and knee

I mean... no lapse in concentration!
Thankfully I haven't gone down for that reason. I had a too fast/gravel/target fixation lowside, hit by a car, speed/painted line highside, oil leak lowside, hit by another car, lowside in T1 at JGP, lowside in T10 JGP. First one was in '03, last one was two weeks ago sunday.

Hope your alright Phi...


Just got the estimate today.... Drum roll please.. $6786.67 considering that's almost 2K more than I bought the bike for... or just 500 less then the run for new... I'm think'n they'll total it.

looks like I'll be looking for a new bike when I get to Mississippi.
