Long Lay Off and Crazy Days


What a crazy string of days. Last week I got sick while Betsy and the kids were out of town and this week I end up working 14-17 hours a day to recover from some incredibly bad items at work.

While I was out doing these exciting items, Fasig decided to join Goat on the DL. In Greg's own words:

"On tonight's hill ride Jim and I were having a discussion of how we don't descend very well and how Gary could go down Varner without breaking. So as I was descending (and braking) I thought to myself, well I'm braking so I'm going slower then Gary was...which was absolutely STUPID!!! Nonetheless, that's what happened and as I was
thinking that I looked up to see a corner and thought, it certainly must bend, then seeing that &($^ it's almost a 45 degree turn. Damn, must break fast. Hit the breaks and the rear locked and jumped to the right. Thus had to let off to reapply pressure...not enough time. Guard rail quickly approaching, damn I feel like Brad I hope he's okay, *&^%) get down and down I went.

The bike wrapped itself around the guard rail support and broke into 2 pieces. I am extremely happy as the bike took the majority of the impact."
