Thanks for the beer offer but I'll probably not drink much since I'm not
riding. I'm already overweight and this time of the year will add 10-15 lbs
more w/o exercise...

never mind...send the beer

beer + percocet = feel good

As for the break, they didn't tell me how bad it was and I didn't see the
x-ray. Friday am appt. with the ortho Dr. and film review will shed more
light on the recovery.

Puts a damper in the January riding plans I was trying to make with
out-of-staters such as yourself....

10+ years w/o a clavicle injury and some dozens of otb experiences so I'm
considering myself lucky. I hit harder than I ever have on one large
boulder. Funny thing is, I usually fall to my left and this time I fell to
my right.

Looks like I'll have plenty of time to roast them beans. I'll have to order
some more variety as I've a limited supply.

Thanks to all for the words of support.

Thought he was down there. I can relate, I trashed my knee at the start
of the season last year. Spent the best months going to PT
