I've been thinking about that a lot since this thread was started. > Or was it the other way around? I suppose it depends on your perspective. It seemed like he ran into me, but I'll bet he feels that I ran into him. He's wrong, of course... I'll just point out that I was climbing up out of a creek crossing in the shade, and just as I was getting to the point that I could see ahead down the trail, Mark appeared out of nowhere going about 60 mph and took me out. OK, so he was probably only going about 15 and braking for the creek, but in the nanosecond that we were within sight of each other before impact, it sure seemed like he was going 60. Perspective-wise, it probably seemed to Mark like I was coming out of that creek crossing as fast as anyone ever rode a bike off road. I felt really, really lucky then to get away with just some damaged plastic and bruises. This thread has made me relive those feelings of luck. I'll bet Mark has thought about it once or twice too; probably wishes he had run into someone that understood the finer points of head-on collisions as well as I do : ) . Tim H There but for the grace of God...
From: SloCalSpode on 31 May 2007 17:55 Oh my, does that story bring back memories. Much like my crash back in Sept. 06 that I wrote about in the "Western Mini fest @ KM" thread. That feeling of being able to wiggle your toes and stiff feel everything (down there). But the distinct feeling that not everything is still connected all the same. Best wishes for a speedy and FULL recovery. On thing I remember the EMT telling me was that. If I had broken my Femer and not the Tibula. I would be taking a helocopter ride to the ER and not sitting in the back of a van chewing Vocodines for the 2 1/2 hour drive to the hospital. Slo('er than ever)CalSpode

I can't post there anymore. I believe they didn't like something I said... :) If you know the history of how that board got started... it's a bit ironic. :)
