Ouch!!! Hope you heal up quickly. Yes, the roads can be a bit treacherous and deceiving this time of year. Any shaded areas can be frozen even if it is a few degrees above zero. The frost is fairly heavy in the mornings and even in the afternoons the shaded areas are frosty. The crews have been out salting and sprayingwith salt brine which can make traction poorwhen it is still fresh. Not to mention the corrosive attack on the bike. I was riding up on some FSR roads two weeks ago and found sections where wood debris on the trail was very dicey... as it had a coat of frost on it.

All the best!
Mike

Looks like the hand swelled a little from when I hadlast seen it. At least you'll get the hardware off before Vegas. Heal fast.

I'm with you Frank...hand armour...it's always the wrists and thumbs that take a beating. You look just like I did... lousy for nose picking...great for hitchhiking.

I actually passed you on Hammond Bay Rd on Saturday with your H'berg loaded and thought..gees wouldn't it be nice to go for a ride!!

Hope you mend soon.

Ouch! That's why I don't ride with Kuzzy in the winter.....Good you wore all that protection. As for hand protection, a beer in each hand keeps you off the bike and, therefore, fairly safe!
Get well soon.
Greetings from La Paz, 29C and no ice, even early in the morning.

Hi Frank

Sorry to hear about your injury, at least it's not your clutch hand. Hope you heal quick.

All the best of the season, Murph
