Cabaña Veronica at the top of the Picos de Europa, Spain.

In 1961, two members of a Cantabrian climbing club, Conrado Sentíes (an engineer) and Luis Pueyo (an architect) spotted an American aircraft carrier, the USS Palau in the Basque port of Santurtzi, waiting to be scrapped. They thought one of the domes would make an excellent mountain refuge and transported it piece by piece, on the back of a horse named Rubio, to its final position 2,325m high at the foot of the Pico Treasurer.

No heli ride. Someone called 911, but bike patrol happened to pass by right then. Quick ride on a backboard down to first aid, then to the hospital. Have to give props to the EMTs at Snow Summit.

He had surgery yesterday, got a Ti rod and some pins. He should have post X-rays and GoPro in the next couple days :)
Bastards! When I broke my leg at Snow Summit I had to ride the fvck down!

The MV 1090 is a bigger bike than the 910 was. I rode a 910 that was at the Harley shop back in '09 and the Marzzochi 50mm fork was to kill for. Nothing has scared my like my old R1 :(



I could build another one, but the MV on cl would be cheaper. :D
