K-Man fell victim to Barton.
Collarbone busted and all sorts of nastiness.
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes!
I have to say I think I convinced two folks in the ER to race bikes. 
Big shout out to Jan Moss for her help!
Yes. I am still smiling.
Note right leg still covered with Barton mud.
Gross picture if you click below. Leg with chunk missing.

Sorry to hear about your CB Kenji. I had a crash in the same spot, total mystery to me how it happened. Early indications point to a separated shoulder, but I’ll find out for sure tomorrow.

Well Kenji, a deformed collar bone is the bike racer’s “badge of courage”. Wear it with pride!

what the crap! bummer man. I don’t know if you went down by the finish line, but the cheers and shouts from the crowd over there sounded like the Coliseum. The masses were appeased by your valiant blood.

It’s just nasty that I can feel the bones rubbing and moving around. Yech.
Not too bad Mel- more or less ok unless I move in a bad way.
Hahahahaha JV!

How about I come over and we play salt tag? It will feel good on those wounds.
then we can do yoga and really stretch things out. Then let’s go swim in the ocean.
You’ll feel much better.

Heal well…heal fast! That pic reminds me of this years TTT crashes.
Rest, wash, re-bandage…repeat. It’s amazing what 7 days can do.
