Well, I was rear ended yesterday while sitting at a stop light. My car is totaled, my bike rack is a mangled piece of metal pushed into the cabin of my car and my neck and back hurt.
Looks like I won`t be riding for a while.
Could be better, could be worse but I just hope I don`t have along term nagging injury.

This morning I was supposed to meet Dave bright and early and ride Burke at 7am. However Dave decided that he is a bit more of a fair weather rider 
and bowed out on the ride when he looked outside and saw rain. Rather than calling it quits I still went for my ride up Burke.
I parked at the corner on Harper and pedaled up to the Triple Crown where I started my descent. The trails I rode were Triple Crown, Red R, Slayer, Dawg and Hustler.
The ride wasn’t all that wet but it was oh so fun! Dawg and Hustler have seen some recent trail work by Bryan, Karaleen and Vic. These trails are simply amazing right now and I can’t wait to get back there for another ride.
This is a compilation of the footage I caught with my ContourHD chest-cam. It was so dark and dreary in the forest that most of the footage was useless, but this is what I could put together of the ride I had today.

Early September sunrise.
This morning I was up with the rising sun at The Woodlot and spotted a rarely seen deer on the climb.
A stare-down with a deer.
I rode my Trance today and pedaled to Cabin Trail where I tested version 2 of my chest camera mount for the ContourHD and also my XC helmet mount for the ContourHD. Both seemed to work really well especially given the small travel bike and the roughness of the trails that I decided to test them on (Cabin Trail, Snakes and Ladders and Shotgun).With my early start and minimal delays finished my ride and was home by 9am and able to spend the rest of the day with my kids.
