    Thanks for the update!

    Don's is a small chain (three shops?) in the IE. Good people. They have been around a long time, but I never knew they did any carbon repair.
    I'd get a quote from Calfee. Nothing against Don's at all, but it's what Calfee is known for.

    Cyclotourist, thanks for the tip. That makes total sense. Deep down it is a perfect excuse to buy a new Ripley v4. Unfortunately, the finances aren't matching. I just bought a house spigot some new home things to do. So if I could keep my current frame running for a 1-1.5 years that would be great. I will definitely check out Calder.

    Scottay didn't know there was a video out there. I crashed just dropping into the sweeping turns. The first one I think.

    @SS Barby not much I can add that the others haven’t said, but DAYUMMM! That’s gnarly. So sorry to hear. I am sure we can all relate a little bit, but DAYUMMM!

    Coincidentally, I’m in Carlsbad at a family reunion. My face looks like hell too, but that’s normal. Sorry you have to meet new people looking like a Newport Beach divorcée leaving the cosmetic surgery department.

    Healing vibes to you. Lean on us for anything!

    Seeing so many surgically altered people at the OC Fair. The cat-faced, botoxxed, chemically-peeled, old ladies are downright frightening! :eek:!

    No real pain other than the looks. But, that was always painful for everybody else. In the mornings my lips are so dry the hurt a little bit other than that just waiting to heal. My heart is broken over my frame but hopefully, it will be able to get repaired.

    Well that’s really good news! :thumbsup::thumbsup: A downed rider is always hard news. Hope you get that bike frame fixed or replaced quickly!
    Sure, I’ll take you up on that P12 tour( I’ve ridden there about 5x now)! I’m hoping to start doing the Wed night rides w the Pedal Mulisha too if they’ll have me! Let me or Tucker @CBone know if you’re available for that when you’re healed up!

    So, Grandma comes up to the booth yesterday. All dressed up, urban cowgirl style, to see Dwight Yoakum later that evening.
    Her designer boot clad legs were propping up a pair of daisy dukes that would make a 20 year old think twice about wearing.
    The spaghetti strap tank top barely contains the grapefruit-sized boob implants, and the view that followed the obligatory bend at the waist was like looking down a poorly tanned abyss.
    The Garfield tattoo was a nice touch, though.
    Oh my!
    Finally, our eyes meet. Her frozen face attempts a smile but it's muted by lips with so much filler they cannot open properly. Kinda like @ssbarby after the crash.
    Despite all the work and even the spray tan and pink lipstick, it is painfully obvious that Grandma is much older than it seems at first glance. The hands always give it away...
    I find it hard to talk to people when I am getting no facial clues but she's a nice lady and we have a pleasant business transaction.
    I am left to wonder, why?

    Pedal Mulisha is a great group to ride with. I will join anytime. I am healed enough now to go out on my SS. If Pedal Mulisha is riding this Wed. I can join. The lead of that group is Rick O'Donnell (as I understand it) he actually built a lot of the trails out at P12. There is probably no better guide for that area. Hope to ride together soon. Flowy trails are my favorite until you stop being flowy with them and then they are not forgiving due to the speed your carrying.
