As big of a dillhole as I think you are, Rob, bummer you crashed. Heal well. I scuffed up my leg and it hurt like a bitch for 2 days. Yours will take a while longer. Bummer.
FYI - don't jump into rocks until you are really good at jumping into rocks.
Every time I drop into loose rock, and we have plenty, I wash out and go down. Then I have to listen to Wumpus lecture me about wheels on the ground.

Thanks man. They said in MAYBE 2 weeks I'd have a thin layer of new skin over the mess, but somehow I don't think it'll be any less than 3 or 4.loco said:As big of a dillhole as I think you are, Rob, bummer you crashed.

I should have taken them up on some painkillers. Not too easy to sleep, especially since I sleep on my left most of the time.
As for rocks...yeah, I should not have been acting like an idiot, but live and learn I guess. Nothing broken, so I'll know better next time.
hey monkeys...pretty low-key weekend. miles' soccer practice was rained out sat, and it was kind of a crappy day so not much got done. sunday was better, and we did a hike / picnic @ the nearby weir hill reservation.
otis did not want to share his chocolate bar
the kids got funky on the trail
had some friends over later, who are moving to ireland for 4-6 months (same facility i worked at). then got some chinese takeaway.
no rides, but did a 4 mile run. not quite the same.

Morning monkeys. I'm hurting this morning (see below).
Had a good weekend, visited OMTB and chatted with the owner for a while, checked out the new Kona King among other things, and bought a new front tire to replace the one my exhaust melted. Sunday we had an awesome ride with Stosh and Aubrey at Stewart, lots of climbing and nice technical singletrack. Everything was excellent until I tried to jump off the last little ramp next to the parking lot. Hit a nasty rock, lost it, fell on my left and shredded my left elbow, sprained my left shoulder, sprained my right thumb, ripped up my left ankle bone, and bruised up my left hip nicely.
Trip to the ER (for the deep shreds on my elbow) basically said that it should be stitched, but there wasn't enough skin left to stitch. Debrided it, dressed it, and sent me home.
Overall, a
Wow Rob,
Was it were we parked ?, under the hiway bridge ?

Yeah - it'll really suck when you start sticking to the sheets. ugh...robdamanii said:
I told Rob, I did the same thing 2 years ago on the same rock in the opposite direction. I think I had the benefit of doing it on washed out 2" rocks instead of landing on pavement like he did.loco said:As big of a dillhole as I think you are, Rob, bummer you crashed. Heal well.

Im so tired of NOT riding my bike. Its ****ing driving me crazy. The worst part is, i cant ride all week, cause I have to go to ****ing Chicago to be in my bros. wedding. I hate weddings, and I hate that I have to travel, pay for tux, hotel, food, gas etc, just to watch a wedding. Dont get me wrong, Im happy for the guy, but the tradition is killing me. They're putting on the full production too, and gettiing the parents for multiple thousands of $.
Anyway, I decided that when I get back, Im re-dedicating myself. Hopefully I wont have any more bike issues for a while, and school is winding down so I hope to be spending most my life on the trails this summer. I mean, I still have classes, but not til later...whatever. Dammit. I want to ride RIGHT NOW.

I was changing a flat on my bike this morning and as I was pumping it up the bead slipped off rim and the tube blew into a million pieces. There's a huge welt on my leg from the explosion and I'm deaf in one ear. That was my excitement for the weekend.
Saturday was rainy and nasty so my wife and I went to DC on to check out the Dada exhibit at the National Gallery of Art. That was pretty cool. Those Dadaists are some weird dudes. Sunday we took the dog for a hike. Unfortunately, no riding took place.

Yup, under the overpass.splat said:
Actually really wasn't too bad most of yesterday. Today's the rough day, but I've certainly done worse. It's gorgeous here and I'm jonesing to get out on the road. Don't think I shuold do that though.

I've had that happen and it sucks! When the tube exploded, my cat bolted for the couch and hid underneath it all eveningjdschall said:
Totally man, build that thing solid so you dont have to f with it. I would recomend the crossmax xl's strongly, except for the fact that my freewheels has just come loose, i dont think it is really an issue, as i will get the evil genius ken to fix it.brungeman said:
Quit whining and go ride. I've ridden the day after with road rash on my butt and shin.robdamanii said:

Road rash is the least of his problems. Rob can see the tendon in his arm and it's still bleedingWumpus said:
Morning - no riding for me either.
I did officially completely move out of my apartment over the weekend. I guess that closes another chapter on my life so to speak. I don't think I'll really miss that place at all though, and I'm looking forward to the future with Laura.
Thanks for letting me borrow the shop vac IAB and MBC - I'll return it tonight after work.
No riding tonight either, nor tomorrow, nor Wednesday.....hmmmm......Maybe Thursday and Friday morning though. I'm going to be so friggin slow and unbelievably rusty.

I'm more concerned about the sprained shoulder and thumb. They won't make riding drops at all comfortable or productive.Wumpus said:

Don't let Wumpus get away with that. I saw him grip a bar yesterday and he COULD ride his CX bike, but won't.robdamanii said:

Good morning all. Nice shot Bill and thanks for the link on your site- yes I check it out now and then 
Cute pics of the kids, Tim sounds like a good time was had. I keep an eye on your blog too. Nice recent concert shots as well. Hey what do you think of the refreshments? I came across their fizzy fuzzy big and buzzy cd and kinda liked the tunes.
Friday AM did a 4 hour cruiser ride with the wife(trip reports)
Then watered my yard for the rest of the day as it was sunny and I have to keep it wet. Pain in the butt, but it won't be long now..
Saturday, I gotta bunch of stuff done around the house, biked into town and picked up my rental car for the wedding I was shooting in Seattle
These things are really quick! Or maybe I'm just used to driving an 84 honda, I'm not sure. ( Chevy Malibu)
Sunday, got to hang out with my little nephew all day

, yeah it's nothing that interesting at this point in time, but look for a major redesign and a bunch more improving shots as the summer nears...I am loving the camera, just got back from moab and put it to very good use (im gonna throw up a trip gallery in the next few days), the 1.8 lense is amazing.
As always love the shots!
YEAH!!! Congratulations to you and Laura on beginning your life together. Don't worry, you'll be back in riding shape in no timeMMcG said:Morning - no riding for me either.

That's awesome, Mark! As far as a dwelling goes, Laura's house is INFINITLEY better than that old apartment of yours.MMcG said:I did officially completely move out of my apartment over the weekend.

Looks like you're going to get to know your way around Massenheegen or whatever the fock it's called. MBC will be working late, but I should be home by 6:30. If you stop by and no one's home, just leave the vac in our driveway by the garage. It'll be fine there.
Thanks Babs!
how goes it with the freelance? Find anything?MMcG said:
By the way, your camelbak is working great! Thanks again
mark - congrats on the move.

really??? I never got around to buying the cd he mentions, but I really dig them. There was the really funny song about robbing a bank. They got lots of college radio play in the mid 90s here.narlus said:
