MURRAY AND KAT SHOWED UP JUST AS WE WERE ABOUT TO RIDE OUT. MURRAY SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO A SIMPLE RIDE BECAUSE HIS FEET HAVE BEEN BOTHERING HIM.

ANOTHER VIEW OF SINKER CREEK CANYON. SINGLE TRACK OPPORTUNITIES ARE LIMITED THESE DAYS.

DAVID OPENED THE LAST GATE ON THE WAY BACK TO THE TRUCK AND WAVED ME THRU. ABOUT A MILE FROM THE SAND WASH ON A SMALL FEEDER,I JUST SHIFTED TO 3RD OR 4TH, SOME HOW LOST THE FRONT WHEEL. IN SLO MO I SAW MYSELF LANDING ON THE HANDEL BARS- ‘ DAMN THIS GOING TO HURT’.  HAD TO SIT THERE TO DO AN INVENTORY OF ALL THE INJURIES. THE RIBS SEEMED OK, DIDN’T LOOSE MY BREATH, THE CHEST PROTECTOR SAVED ME .

DAVID ROLLED UP. I HAD HIM PICK UP MY BIKE, STILL WAITING FOR THE BIG STING TO ARRIVE.

RODE THE LAST MILE WITHOUT ANY DISCOMFORT.  GOD LOVES SPODEDADDY TOO !

BACK AT THE SAND WASH WE RAN INTO ROCKY. WAS HIS 1ST RIDE SINCE HIS HEART ATTACK.
