Anyone going to Blue or Diablo either Sat or Sun? I'd like to hit one of them this weekend. I'd really like to get to Diablo though...haven't been yet this year.
Blue or Diablo this weekend (7/10 or 11)?

I am up for a DH ride. Probably just Blue this weekend. Unless we can get a crew for Diablo? It's gonna be hot though and that is a shit load of time sitting in an air conditioned car...

Sunday looks good, thay way
Sunday looks good, thay way Brew is in too. My vote is Diablo since I haven't been there yet and I want to work on my jumping - and see all the crazy new shite, but I won't exactly break down in tears if we have to Blitzkrieg Blue instead.

Got back from Diablo last
Got back from Diablo last Saturday and noticed a crack in my rack, so I'm in if someone can give me a lift... Don't care where... though Diablo has sooo much more variety especially for my skill level.

Sunday is the DAY! Storms Sat
Sunday is the DAY! Storms Sat will water the dirt and it will be perfect Sunday with mid 80's and tacky dirt! I am definitely up for Blue but I will even head to Daiblo and session all the new jumps. Let's figure it out on Sat...

Right now I'm definitely leaning towards Blue. I'm thinking late morning departure ~11:00am or so, get to blue around noon after the squids soak up the mud. Then hammer like 7-9 runs and be done. Home by dinner time bitches!

If you think your bike will
If you think your bike will fit in a rack that grabs the downtube I can give you a ride. I think it will. It fit an older sx trail. I plan to leave by 8 to get back for the world cup final game.

Diablo: Krotee and Koch are coming with me and I can fit Callum. Unless Hunter wants to ride with Koch and then Curt and Cal can ride with me. That's if Curt and Hunter nut up and head north to the promise land. Cal can you get here at 6:15? Plan is to be riding by 9:30 latest and quit riding at 2-2:30, pack up and roll and maybe stop for some food in route and be home around 6... Whayyda think?

So no one is going to blue?
So no one is going to blue? Anyone have a roof rack or just wanna carpool to diablo? I'm not thrilled about spending that much time in the car solo. I can miss the world cup.

Heal fast Johnny! It was a great day and unfortunately shit happens. But I know you were having loads of fun leading up to the crash. I could tell by the ear-to-ear smile on your face!
You'll be ready to Blitz by September in the perfect weather and conditions!

Man, what an epic day... Some
Man, what an epic day... Some definite carnage, our staff lawyer bites the dust on the last corner of the last run, confirmed broken collarbone (bogus!). I'm basically walking sideways because my lower back/pelvis is so out of wack, probably from casing that roller double after the step up section. I know curt's gotta be a little sore today as well (that double next to the cannon is mad dogging him!). Anyways, look for a full write up on the day once brewer uploads the video.

Avoid walking bike...as much as possible!
My back is like rice crispies from stomping down hill on my fArkin feet on the hard rocky ground, "snap crackle and pop!"
Heal up Jonny, be patient....was an epic day of riding,
the crew clearing the step up step down was rad, the jump
line off the shelf!...

Ouch! That's a pretty bad
Ouch! That's a pretty bad one, I've never broke mine in two places like that! Must be very painful right now. Doc Oken will get you fixed up, if he can put meat heads knee back together, he can plate up that collarbone, let us know what he says.

Okin said it was only one
Okin said it was only one break, not two - I'm assuming the gap on the right must be cartlige. This shot was taken from about waste height, looking up at the bone. As per the advice of my doctor friends and folks, I plan on getting a second opinion tomorrow. Okin suggested surgery, but said it was not required - that there was a good chance the bone would heal naturally, but with a big lump by the break. However, there is a chance it would not heal properly, in which case invasive surgery would be required in a month. Also if I go the natural route, I will be immobile for a much longer period - he said about 3 weeks in a sling, and the pain will be prolonged (which means prolonged pain meds and inability to drive). If I do surgary, I'll be mobile after about a week or so and the pain would be significantly reduced. However, Okin advised that under either route, assuming success, I should not be back on a bike for 3 months.
. That's another reason I'm eager to seek another opnion, but bottom line is that I'm not going to f ark with it and risk a poor healing. Long term - long term.
If "no pain no gain" is really true, I had better be super man in 3 months! Hopefully it won't be that long. Maybe XC will be permissible at an earlier time.
