I can't ride tonight, too much to do, but I wish I could

Damn - that sucks. Hope you bounced out of it ok.
After watching that a few times I have re-affirmed my belief that while Spoon Hill is uber fun and fast, there is huge potential for disaster if and when if does go wrong...

I slammed (few cuts and bruises) - then Jim avoided me and ran over my rear wheel instead

(also no damage) :thumbsup:

things have stopped hurting in general now (happened Monday) - they only hurt when I move or knock them :lol:

Or when someone else forgets and knocks them... :paranoid:
