    One of the first questions asked after a crash is, "Is your bike all right?". Post pics of the carnage here.

    My Kona has a few small rubs on one side of the saddle and a minor rub on the fork, neither of which are worth sharing in a photo. But as you can see, the rear triangle got chewed a bit.

    The Garmin clip-in insert broke as well. Luckily, I have a few extras so I placed the broken part next to a new one for comparison.

    I've bashed both my XC bike, and enduro bike pretty damn hard. The XC bike so hard I KNEW it would be trash. I only found a chip in the paint.

    Took a tumble off the side of the trail at the bottom of Sunset Ridge this morning at the final staircase which is partially not there anymore after the storm this past week. Stalled out and tumbled over the side, through the brush and onto the water fall trail.

    First of all, bike (frame) seems OK. I did tip over onto some metal stakes and metal mesh screen which chewed the fork lowers pretty good. Tore my favorite jersey.

    My right side took a beating this time. Nothing serious, just a little bruised and rashed an a tiny bit of blood. Soreness is setting in. I might need a beer or three. :D

    There is actually a light scuff at the top of the uppers as well but I cannot feel a scratch/gouge. It feels raised instead of indented so I assume that it will rub off.

    Now that my daily duties have ended, I think I'll join you with a beer.

    Anyone else? Seems like a good time to sip a frosty, frothy cold one to me. :)
