    I got the shivers just reading that.

    Mikie- I'm truly thankful that you're still here to tell us the story... And I'm thankful that you and Voodoo Tom have forged the friendship that you have. It saved your life last night.

    Oh, all right. I'll ask what all of you are thinking. Did the bike make it out in one piece?

    Yep bike is fine and resting in my garage. If I hadn’t have been so tired I probably would’ve rode it to work this morning just to be sure. His moto style brakes would have spit me off for sure though...

    Dude!
    How's the tree?
    How's the bike?

    What an epic story of friendship, trust, and rescue.
    @Voodoo Tom gets the MOH for going beyond the call of duty.
    @Mikie heal fast and well.

    Mikie, Mikie, Mikie... the older we get the more brittle we become :sick:

    The broken pelvis will just impact your dancing career, so I am sure you will be back on your bike as soon as you are able.
    THANK GOD you didn't get knocked out when you hit that tree.

    p.s. I'm glad I have Tom's number :thumbsup:

    @Voodoo Tom can talk all the humility he wants cuzz he is a solid humble dude.

    But @Faust29 is right, in my opinion, you did save my life Brothah. You were the only guy for the job. Right connections, know the area, level headed common sense. I would have been up there for hours more if not for you and your quick thinking. The shivers I was hitting by the time those guys got there were out of control. I was going in to shock.
    Thank you Tom!

    I got to throw a Pizza and Brew night for You and those guys.

    Wowie @Mikie!!!

    Glad you're gonna come out of this OK. What an adventure. I know that lonely feeling being stuck on the side of a mountain, alone. And the feeling of shock setting in.

    Thank you Tom for making one of the most important calls you will ever make.

    Heal up Mikie, you'll be back in the saddle again in due time.

    I agree....pelvic injuries can be deadly if not tended to in a timely manner due to all the blood vessels that travel through that area......I'm no doctor, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night....plus I heard it on the interwebs, so it's gotta be true right. :cautious:

    I realize we haven't met "yet" but I used to think you were superhuman. Now this is twice you have wodded it up since I've been an imtb'er. Now I'm thinking you're just a normal shmo like the rest of us. I still walk the death-chute though right at your avatar so you're still good there! you are the grand-Poobah of the Royal order of imtb so fkn slow down and heal up real good. The one good plus to all this is summed up in one word. Ice cream... Vibes

    Lifetime warranty, right?

    Now that we know @Mikie is going to be fine (one day) is it "lifetime" of the bike or the rider?

    I just got clearance Clarence from the Physical Therapist after completing his torture test.
    About 2 hours of paperwork and I'm on my way home.

    I'm thinking we hit up McGill Trail on Saturday and tame that beeotch! If @mountaingirl Sarah can do it.......

    Tell him he's welcome to go on Saturday, but he has to take the bike that's planted in his front yard.

    I love the comradery of the mtb community. And IMTBers are just superior examples of the status quo of mtb.

    Healing vibes Mikie. You'll be back rubber side down in no time. I got the leary "if you think you can" from my orthopedic doc yesterday when I asked if I could ride. So Im only days out from being back on the trails. Saturday could work o_O

    Damn Mikie, don't do that no more. Thoughts and prayers for quick heeling and full recovery.

    Good job Voodoo Tom!
