Unfortunately when it did so the disc brake rotor went straight into my shin. Whoops. A trip to the hospital later I'm glued (Dermabond) back together. Funny thing is that I didn't realize I had a 1cm deep, 5cm long gash in my leg until someone else pointed it out. It was heinous looking (like an open mouth), but surprisingly didn't bleed much.
I had a similar cut on my leg that I also didn't notice... but it was more because I was distracted by the fact that I'd landed on my face than because it didn't hurt
I have a question about CX practice- do they turn the ski lights on, or do you guys run headlights?

TJ: disc brakes are not legal for elite category in UCI races. Totally fine for any other local races (besides the double UCI-C1 weekend at Centennial Park in Nov) though.
Brad: Went to Western... place was packed. Left and went to Sinai, moderate crowd. In and out in about an hour (!), which was pretty sweet. I smiled a lot at the triage nurse and hoped for the best.
They turn the ski lights on for us at the ski hill. Still pretty dark in parts of the course near the end of the night though.

For those that are interested, they're gonna talk about Cervelo forming it's own race team on cbc1 in 20mins.

atta boy.. it's one of those food groups they don't talk about. It's part of what makes pizza the perfect food. Adding beer to pizza and you have all the food groups covered in a single sit down, IF you put veg on it that is.

1. greasy spoon breakfast makes me feel like a slouch when riding....
2. Wes, that's gross. Can we see pics with the maw gaping?
3. Stuart, how did you pull your groin?
4. That fixie was totally ridden around the block twice.
5. Value village jacket for the lulz.
Is anyone interested in a road ride this weekend?

Anyone got any recommendations for clips and straps that will work with boots? That's the final piece of the puzzle for my winter bike...

MKS XL sized steel clips are huge! Not sure who makes the longest strap though.
