First that was me hobbling down the spiral stairs, crutch in hand.  So yoda
(thats gary/seniore P) convinces me to do a relaxing ride at valley falls so
we can check out and just PHOTOGRAPH the obstacles - Noooo we would never
ride them..  Hump ladder #1, I get for the second time but very sketchy,
near endo..  Onward, 5 ramp obstacle gary gets the first 20' clean and
whimps out.  Next gary cleans his first rock ramp!!  Wohoo, I follow suit..
Kicking it up a notch we find a cool rock drop that leads into a 20' drop
ramp - I decide that its easily doable and safe..  So here is the obstacle
that wrecked my ankle/neck/back/leg/groin -

1-contemplation  (looks like leather - feels like leather)

2 - commitment, (not leather) make the drop, behind the seat, all set up for
a perfect  Whhhhhhhaaaattt happened - over the bars (flying delta.. east
coast west coast....), bike around the tree, airborn with this stupid ramp
under me start running like skooby doo before I hit the ground going full
speed , arms out flailing like an injured birds wings didnt slow me down,
why barbie??  tumble to the ground bouncing off big tree and gary grabs me
before I get impaled on a very large sharpened branch..  Happy to walk away
from this one but out of commision for a while I imagine.. See if I can walk
tomorow - madog did you get an x-ray from your bike stunt?  Maybe we can get
to the post ride activities early!!  Or Ill just catch up on my fore-arm
needlepoint (to keep those moab cops guessing).

3. - aftermath - pukecycles second ride of the year (first ride wasnt so
successfull either) - no joe the fuse to help me

4 - Yoda pissalot using the force for balance

Ok - so we found about 35 HIGHLY ridicurouse obstacles like this and here is
the score.  After the crash we still finished the loop bastard in pain style
and even rode the nemesis downhill, yoda almost cleans it

Bastard - 4 Obstacles - 1

Yoda -1 Obstacles - 1

If the crash brothers want to check this out I will be happy to hobble out
there and take some pictures, lets just make it a DRY day and have a cell
phone/first aid kit/ stretcher/medic  handy.  Bryan may as well set up the
ride for this week as I do not plan on riding - Ill be back soon - Nice ride
yoda you focker!

Rating - 5 full length honed sharp spokes stuk in my head for accupunkture,
I like the look and think ill keep it.  And yes the spokes still have
nipples on them - you had to ask -
