Christopher,
I don't have your email address or else I wouldn't have posted this on the forum. However, I just wanted to make sure that you were ok after your crash in the Masters race at Cherry Pie. I hope it wasn't too serious.

Oh man. Sorry to hear about your incident. I was looking forward to having you totally kick my butt again in some of the upcoming road races.
Watch out for those crazy crits! It seems your real skill is inflicting punishment in the hills.
Hope to see you soon.
Gene, the Los Gatos rider from the EB road race you totally blew way.
Glad that you're ok. It looked nasty.
Raymond,
I'm OK.
I have a fractured elbow (tip of olecranon chipped off, I heard
it's not that bad), 11 stitches, and plenty of road
rash. It's my welcome to road racing.
I made a stupid rookie mistake. I looked back in a
crit while riding to close to the border between the
road and the gutter, while in a full sprint (for a prime - a box of Clif bars or something like that). I guess
I swerved a bit, and next thing I know I'm going down
hard. Luckily none of the 90 or so riders behind me
ran me over. :lol:
I'll be back for Sea Otter.
Chris
