Thanks to everyone who helped put this event on. I'm glad I had a chance to attend. The excellent Wisconsin cuisine (brats, beans, kraut and beer) helped me add a few of the pounds I had lost. In my case, it was a good thing.
Please keep Mohsen in your thoughts and prayers. He is lucky to survive the accident. I was one of four of group who saw it happen. It was a horrible thing to see. It's hard to get the vision of it to stop playing through my mind. I'm fine, but it's going to be a tough recovery for Mo. His use of top quality riding gear is the only reason he is still alive.
ATGATT - Every time, all the time. Don't get in the saddle without quality riding gear. You life does depend on it.
Mo, get well, my friend.
