Props to Arvesen

It was painful watching Arvesen complete the stage with what turned out to be a broken collarbone. Pretty tough guy - lots of respect.

Anyone ever done this? Can't imagine it...

Sucks that, just about every year, someone from that squad gets put out by a crash.

Was riding a night ride called Mojave by Moonlight and hit a possum on a fast downhill and disclocated my shoulder.. Got back on and rode 60 miles with my shoulder out..

When I finally made it to the hospital the following morning, I almost passed out when the doctor had to put in back in..
