Roadie joe goes down.

I wish I could say it wasn't ugly, but it was. We did our typical mid week off road ride which involved a good two thosand foot decent back to the cars. We were ripping through some sweet single track at a good 20 miles per hour at times. Id like to tell you that roadie joe was doing somthing totally sick.

Well we dumped out onto a very quite flat dead end street that brings us back to where we park. It was a narrow road, a resident was driving towards us so i sugested that joe get behind me since i have a much brighter light. Well i guess the lights of the car out shined joes light and blinded him and before you know it I hear a pretty loud crash and a really expensive carbon taurine scraping across the pavement.



Its a good thing joe was wearing his helmet, take a good look and click on the pick. We were going very slow and he hit his head pretty hard.

Forutnatley joes ok but pretty banged up, so be careful folks and wear your helmet!

That truely sucks man, but the important thing is he's ok.....mostly it sounds.

How much damage did the bike take?

Bummer! I swear the worst accidents happen in the parking lot or tooling around on the way to/from the ride. That really sucks. There's no glory in that, eh!?

I suggest you delete this post and make up a really good story pronto!
