Thanks, Penny. That terrain does look ouchy if you don't manage to keep
the rubber side down.

Or more generally, about 1.5 hours east of Eugene.

Man, that stuff would tear you a new one if you fell hard on it.

Why is that one freak going the wrong way?!?!?

The second time I rode the MRT a guy I'll ride with once in a while now
(but very new to mtbs at that time) bounced his bad self off some of that
nice stuff (no protection other than his helmet and gloves despite some
advice to "be careful"). He required something like 15 or 16 (?)
stitches, several cold ones and over a year before he could find the
stones to ride an mtb again. It almost took the will to ride out of
someone that (now) rides damn well and often.

I feel you there bro. I was a horrible enough rider ;-) before my
"latest" shoulder crushing incident. I don't want to know how sketch
I'll be riding when I finally get back on a bike for "real." We just
have to take comfort in that old axiom: Chicks dig scars.

Side bar: As my wife read this over my shoulder just now she chuckled
and patted (?) me on the head, nice.
