Crash=$$$$$$$$$$$

Ironically I took my last of the 5 unpaid days off from work last Thursday. Dan was off too so we decided to take a ride out at 9 Mile. Approximately 10 minutes into the ride I was on the ground scraped up and bleeding and both wheels on my bike were bent so back to my vehicle I go and head for Rib Mountain Cycles. I explained my situation of leaving for Eau Claire Friday and of course Randy and his super bunch of guys tell me they will have the wheels straightened by noon on Friday so I can pick them up on my way through. Friday morning I packed everything up and needed to take the van to go get the wheels because I couldn't get my bike frame inside the vehicle. I got to the bike shop a little early so the wheels weren't done yet but they got right on it. The front wheel was almost as good as new, the back wheel was JUNK. Randy came through by lending me a wheel from a much more expensive bike. I asked him to not tell me how much it was worth so I didn't worry about damaging it. Back home I went and threw the wheels on my back and off we went. Around the block once to come back and get the Camelbaks. Around the block again to get my lights. Eau Claire here we come.
