Aug 12^th, 2008 at 8:13am

I really do not know if anyone is interested in what we do but day one of our holidays took us to a hidden gem, and a lot of mud!!!!! Smiley

A total of 10 of us got together and had a blast!!! Check out this young lady Kyla. She was too funny! Grin

Our fun ended in a blink of an eye. One of our riders took one of the hardest face plants we have ever seen. We have cell phones with us and were able to get help to him within minutes. He was taken to the local hospital and ( I won't go into detail) was cat scanned and stitched up and released. We thought it was much worse but he is ok. Here is a pic of his bike.

Today we will continue our mountain bike adventures with out Carlos but we will ride a little more carefully. This really shook-up our group and hats off to how well we all responded to take care of our friend.

Thanks everyone and our friend Carlos is doing ok. He came to thank us at breakfast yesterday but will be having his through a straw for a few days yet.
Here is a pic of the downhill ramp that took him out. It was wet and very slippery so he did not use any brakes and that gave him way too much speed with very bad results.

This is a vid of Doug who was first down the ramp and was lucky he made it.

And next was my turn but took one look at the plywood and said not a chance and warned the other riders what was ahead of them.

Carlos was just behind me and he said that he was going for it and it was a very bad decision on his part. Angie was videoing from the bottom and did not know he was coming so she had the camera off, thank god!!!
But he landed about 5 feet from her and she is still very shook up about it. This is what we do but sometimes things go bad and this was one of those times. Cry

She walked her bike down. I am same as you Dennis, I never try something like this without checking out what is ahead of me. Common sense applies big time in this sport.
Thanks for caring.

We decided on Friday that our bikes needed some things replaced and tuned up because of all the mud we have ridden in. A quick trip to our local Purple Bike Shop to get repairs done.

We are taking today off (my legs are saying thanks so much for that) and having a BBQ and bond fire at one of our rider's (Cathy) home located on the Severn River.

I hope I am not boring you's with our holiday pics but we really do live a majestic area and sometimes take it for granted when we see it everyday.
