Edit: and seriously, stupid crashed archived for the ages? Right here: http://flickr.com/photos/wes/1583641...7594081307898/
I think I veered right across the track and straightened out too soon and dropped back in the rut. Yeah the woman behind me was Jordan who works at Yasi's. I left her my name and email in case. I suspect it was her brake rather than her rim (pretty fragile rims otherwise).

I particularly like your Planet of the Apes expression as you are heading over in that pic. Damn dirty ape...

<<edit>> Happy birthday Mike!

I'd also like to know where Charlies' grave is. Last nights ride didn't help me get too much closer to closure, so maybe a grave side visit would help.
