    This morning we gathered up our ever-growing group of Muni-ists here in
    town (6 of us now) and headed out for ride at one of the local parks.
    This location has miles and miles of sweet single track with some short
    but good climbs and descents. While warming up on one of the descents,
    one foot bounced off the pedal and as the pedal came back around from
    the rear, it somhow got caught in the elastic strap on the back of my
    661's sending me crashing to the ground. It's really strange how the
    pedal managed to get under the fastened strap. Has anyone ever had
    something like this happen to them? Here's a pic with my leg still
    locked in:

    Here's a smaller version of the pic.

    I haven't gotten the armor wrapped around the pedal. But I have ripped
    a strap off of the 661's. I was hopping in place on the side of a trail
    to let a bike pass. I backed up into a shrubbery. A branch about the
    diameter of my thumb got under the strap and ripped it off. It ripped
    off at the seam where it is sewn on to the armor. No harm to me, but
    the armor is a lot worse for the wear.

    Matt,
    Why don't you explain the UPD? You got to see it firsthand. All I know
    is I everything started spinning and I hit the ground:eek:
    I downlaoded about 30 pics to cd's for each of ya'll

    John,
    Thanks for resizing the picture for me. I just got a new replacement
    digicam and forgot to set the image size before I started using it

    wow! is it possible that the strap got caught up in the pedal before the
    UPD?

    my leg armor is tore up where the KH nub (used to) stick out. i now
    wrap that part of my leg armor with duct tape.

    glad to hear you all have a healthy gathering of muniers.

    Yep, it's possible. My right leg was actually "tied" to the pedal as I
    spun around going down the hill. Matt watched it happen, perhaps he can
    explain it better

    Kenny does have some special talents. I only missed seeing the crash by
    a few seconds. Hopefully I will see it next time he does it.🙂
    It was a good ride and it was great to meet the new guys, and their
    rapid progress was impressive.

    Eric, are you back in Austin for a while now? Now that the weather is
    cooling off we should all try to get together.

    Yes, finally. And Yes we should. We should keep reminding ourselves how
    it's not 100 degrees and we are not close to heat stroke.
