After I realized I was alive, I asked how my Black Mamba was :) She has a few scrapes on the handle bars, but overall pretty good considering. She's going to the doc tonight...

Glad you are ok.
I like MS150 rides and doing another one this year in Illinois with a bunch of friends.

It seems strange that we take pictures of ourselves after a crash to share. When I see a post about a crash, I always think "I hope they can still train, and I wonder what the pics of the wounds look like."
Now that you have your crash out of the way, keep the tires on the ground for another 8+ years.

Thanks, guys! My new motto is: "That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger." It could have been much worse, so I'll be happy with what I got. And not only do I have pix to share, but several scars to show off for years to come ;)

Scars are very cool.

The MS 150 is charitable 2-day bike ride, not a race. I rode it two years ago and decided to ride it again this year in prep for IMS. My friend and I had a blast, and had some good speed going...which led to my first and only crash in eight years of riding. You can read the details and see the gory pix here: http://star.trifuel.net/.
If you have a chance to ride it where you are, it's very well organized with great SAG stops and volunteers. There are usually different ride options: 100M, 75M and 50M each day. Good training and lots of fun...
