My team mate and pal gsteinb just upgraded to Category 1. Well done Gary and congrats.

He is 45 years old, so all of you casting aspersions on 45+ racing, take note.

Thanks guys. Yes, I took a chunk out of my finger with a grinder working on my car. I remember trying to control the pain, which was very great, and trying to control the bleeding. Somewhere a long the line, I must of passed out from the pain. Hit my head got a concussion, and woke up in the hospital hours later. They are freaked out about my low heart rate. It dipped in the high 30s when I was sleeping. I told them I am a cyclist that is normal. They made me stay overnight in the cardiac floor. I just want to go home, and see my poodle, but Dr. wants to check me out this morning. My mom brought my laptop, so it isn't too bad. I'll be watching Giro shortly, and then hopefully I can go home. I am positive it was just a bad concussion, and definitely the worst one I've had.

Staying home sick today. My immune system sucks these days. Just started antibiotics for a sinus infection. I had an absolutely miserable weekend selling salsa. Yesterday was cold and rainy all day. That didn't help.

Thanks, pcad. I'm more chuffed that you consider me a pal.

this is what gets me. i wear a helmet and the time i fall on my head it is on my chin. what the hell is the helmet for? and i fell because i was riding too slowly and looking round to see how far i had dropped people on my super fast mup racing.

One of the more baffling mysteries here is how Pcad is on the same team as someone in Category 1.

Hey, I am the pope of this 41 so you know how that makes me look.

Do you mind if I ask how much you weigh and what your CP20 is?
