Understatement of the decade, dude. What the hell did she hit? It's so prefect that you have to wonder if she took the rotor? Or was it just an Apex rock?

Good call on maybe rotor, I was wondering brake lever...
After the gut/rock chute the trail was running water down before that little up and over rock section. I didn't see it happen as I was in front. But we think her front wheel just caught the wet wooden water bar and put her down. She doesn't know what her face hit, but it's such a clean hit I don't think it was rock. It's like a sharp knife cut not jagged at all.
Tough seeing your best friend/wife bleeding like that. She wanted to carry on riding, I had to persuade her we needed to seek medical attention - hard to do when you're an hour of climbing away from home! Thankfully phone a friend to a neighbor worked.

If it weren't so complicated to acquire, I'd have done that. (this isn't Colorado. Yet)
Have the melatonin, I find that all not does Is make it hard to wake up in the morning. Took ibuprofen and acetaminophen. It seems to work.
@6thElement, sorry to hear that. I hope the gash isn't too deep and won't lead to permanent scarring... Sounds grisly.
