Welcome home Jobob!

[dachshund]

Dachshund and I fell apart just a little bit on the side of the road.

Yeah, all I could do was react emotionally. Jo was completely still. I don't think I ever saw her move, so I was very scared. I sagged the last part of the ride because of a headcold, so I was riding in the car with Lee. We came upon flashing lights and I could see a couple of cyclists. I got out of the car thinking "no, no, no..."

But darned if they didn't get a helicopter out there a few minutes later. Jo, you had an extremely efficient crew helping you.

Yes, heal up fast! In the meantime we'll bring therapeutic beer!

What a bad accident.

Jobob, did you have reconstructive surgery? I sure hope you get to feeling better soon. ((((((Jobob)))))))

Dachshund, Melissam, Maillotpois, and other Jobob teammates--(((((((((hug)))))))))

I just want to extend my thank you to Dachshund, Melissam, Maillotpois & all those that came to your aid Jo.

Take care ladies.

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope you're back on the bike in no time. It's great you had good help right there. Thanks to everyone that helped :-)

Hee hee, Therapeutic indeed!

Mel & daschshund brought me some of Lagunitas' best, the wonderful Lagunitas IPA and a truly fabulous"Censored" Rich Copper Ale. *

They also brought me a large bottle of Hop Stoopid Ale and of Cappuccino Stout, both of which I will be happy to share.

* Totally makes up for the minute disappointment emanating from the selling out of Brown Sugga. Oh well.

And they brought LeeBob some incredible root beers.

Darn I have great friends!

[Running Mommy]

Ahhh Jobob! What a nightmare!
But on the good side... You seem to be getting your fill of Lagunitas!
When I worked for a firm in Petaluma we were right around the corner from Lagunitas. The guys would go for a "walk" everyday and return with big smiles platered across their faces! -- kinda like that!
Anyway, hope things are progressing well.

Jobob - I'm just catching up on some TE reading and came across this thread. So sorry to hear about your accident! Sounds like you are healing now though, and in the right ways - beer, ice cream and rest! Do take care, and heal quickly!

And kudos to all of you who were there to help, and who are providing Jobob with healing beverages .

Here's to a speedy recovery, with approved libations and other nutritional matters well in hand.

Hey gang -

LeeBob & I took my Lynskey over to wheelgirl in Berkeley today to get it checked out apres-crash.

(FWIW wheelgirl just moved to the corner of San Pablo Ave & Camelia St. in Berkeley, near REI & Gilman St.
http://wheelgirl.typepad.com/web_log...-april-11.html )

The Lynskey is in remarkably good shape. We were joking over the fact that I took the brunt of the fall to save my bike - heh, yeah, I meant to do that.

The R230 frame has replaceable rear dropout/derailleur hangar which is a nice feature since mine will need to be replaced - much better than repairing the entire frame, that's for sure! - and a couple of spokes may need to be replaced on the rear wheel, which will need to be re-trued. And the cable cover on the rear der has to be replaced. The Brooks Team Pro saddle is a bit scuffed up on the right back side but that's mainly just cosmetic, and can be fixed w a good leather polish/protectant.

Apart from that though, not much else! The XTR rear derailleur is a bit scuffed up and Kurt will double-check it once the der hangar is replaced, but apart from that everything else (incl the frame, fork and seatpost) have a clean bill of health.

The bike came through this much better than did I.

And it was really nice to get out of the house for a while today - a great day.

[Biciclista]

that's good news, it could have been so much worse.
get well fast!

[Over50Newbie]

jobob - sorry that my get well wishes are a little late - I just saw this thread.

But what good news - you are healng well and your Lynskey is too.

Who could ask for more?

And beer will fix almost anything!

Seriously, I'm so glad that you are okay.

Heh heh, it sure is up there.

Thanks so much for the well wishes, gang. It means a lot.

[Trekhawk]

That is good news Jo!
Glad to hear that you and the bike are recovering well.

[DirtDiva]

Hey Jo. Not good to hear you've had a bike-related hospital stay, but glad to hear you are starting to get better. Take care of yourself, eh.
