    A little birdie(ok Strava & FB) told me that our buddy @Postal Pat could use some well wishes. Looks like he fell down and went boom pretty damn hard but luckily he’s got a hard head and should be fine. Patrick you’re a good dude and I hope and pray you’re back in action soon at full steam. I’d love to hear the story over a couple beers with ya.

    For now. Word on the social media is the mustache has to go. The beard can't be far behind.

    It's a bummer to hear that a fellow rider has crashed. When it goes bad it goes bad fast. I hope Postal Pat is doing ok.

    Say it isn’t so!
    Tell me the ZZ Top beardola is okay brothah Pat!
    Fast recovery bud. Share the story, share the pain...:unsure:
    If we all just took a little pain out of it, maybe it won’t hurt so bad.

    Yow, bummed to hear it, PP. I hope it was not too bad. Head and spine stuff is serious; I hope you dodged a bullet. I did last year, and made me realize how fast things can go bad. Here’s to full and fast recovery!


    You guys doling out some good doses of “best medicine.” :thumbsup:

    Good luck Postal Pat! This place can tide you over for a few days or months. Hope you have all your teeth, but if you don’t, that’s kinda rad that you have in common with Doughty and Carter and Brown.

    I don't know @Postal Pat very well but it is is my impression that he is not the type to kick and scream. More the strong silent type. We are here for you man.
    Heal up Pat and come back stronger and faster. Take care of yourself. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Thanks dudes, everyone of the posts made me laugh. First things first, the bike came through unscathed and the beard is doing well but the cut on the lip that requires me seeing a plastic surgeon tomorrow doesn't bode well for the stache. As with most crashes not exactly sure wtf happened but the blood flowed quickly which let to a moment of panic since I was alone. When the family goes to Zuma beach I get dropped off at the tunnel closest to the coast and ride an out to coral cyn and back then down pch to the beach. Had to make that call to the wife and know she's stressing all the way to pick me up. Drove back to Santa Clarita because I know Henry Mayo takes my insurance, hate paying out of network bills when I can go there and be covered 100% for accidental injuries. 8 stitches on the forehead and a ton of road rash on the arms and legs but other than that it's all good. Keep the laughs coming.

    @Postal Pat IS a Badazz!
    Please keep us apprise on the beard situation, however. Or is keeping the beard now a requirement? ;)
    Does the creed apply to mountain biking?
    "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor azz kicking mountain bike crashes stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"


    Okay, I'm on my way out...:whistling:

    Brief update, ended up with just stitches on the forehead and left the lip alone, apparently I'm like an X-Men and healed myself wolverine style:D didn't realize how sore and bad the road rash on my arms and legs was so time to go easy and relax for a bit
