PNW Husky event. Bend, OR. Oct. 15-16, 2010

I laid Shane's 144 down pretty good the other weekend on a sweet GP downhill since he opts to not run side knobs nor tell me about it, but this was a real good one in a really rocky stretch. I would have walked (or at least only limped) away had it not been a rock garden.

Oh well. It happens!


Sorry to derail my own thread, but gotta show the obligatory pics.
Luckily for my bike my leg took the brunt of the impact for it

<crocodile dundee accent>That's not a broken leg... this is a broken leg...</accent>

Damn. This is a tough crowd

I was just looking back at the first post and realized y'all's definition of weekend is a little different, I'll be rolling in late on Friday, and staying past Sunday.

That's just nasty dude!
Luckily mine wasn't nearly that severe and I was able to ride out.

Got a big ol' boot today
No surgery and no waiting 6 weeks to get plaster off

Should be good for China Hat

Yeah... Um... I got a really bad, reoccurring hangnail, so I'm a maybe.

I also rode out, but someone else had to start the bike, and i stood on one foot and stayed in one gear.

Way back at the beginning it was posted for the 14-15th.. Thursday/Friday

Just got back from riding out there, I might have to go back tomarrow.
I'm warming it up for ya all!

Am hopeful to be able to attend at least the Saturday/Sunday fun. Freaking employer keeps dropping shit in my lap with little notice.

I thought you were on a plane?

I was on a layover in Dulles after a 5 hour Flt. There is 3g on the East coast too If you forget to adjust the timezone in user cp, it would appear I was either not on the plane you refer to or breaking FAA regs, which I was not. Glad we got that out of the way

I am a "hate to pay taxes and fees" kind of guy. But when I see all the work that goes into the riding areas in OR, especially how nice they keep CH, I am actually glad to be able to help fund it by buying the tags. I never thought I'd say that about paying essentially a tax, but I see a lot to show for it.

I just got back from three days there and it was raining off and on, so the traction was super good. The soil there is actually pumice, so it drains well, but can get pretty loose. A little water really binds it together.

I've been saving a fortune on tires since I decided to stop replacing them just because a few/all of the knobs fell off.
