Well I was having fun running down that first long decline E-W when I delayed making a decision on a line going into a ravine crossing. I dropped the front wheel off the high line and didn't compensate by changing my weight to the rear. If you didn't see this coming by now I went over the bars and landed on my back. Mostly just scrapes and bruises but I also ended up breaking my collar bone, again. The lesson I've learned is to not ride faster than I can make decisions. My apologies for becoming another statistic.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

Hey Flea,
No cast (I've broken this bone before and knew what to expect) just an xray to confirm it broke (ER Dr. was being cautious took 5 in all a couple chest and a hip shot too) then a few meds for pain and swelling and an arm sling. So I'm typing one handed as this keyboard won't stretch to my lap.
