Turns out I should have used mud tires on Sunday. :P Someone captured this shot of me sliding into the grime on the first lap. Now both bike and I are broken in.

Broken? How broken? Hope you and the bike heal quickly.
Oil is good, grease is better.

Don't freak out too much... the photo was taken using flash, panning and a whole lot of post processing in Photoshop.... (to add a lot of the motion blur). The actual crash probably wasn't nearly as dramatic as it looks.... from the gallery, it looks like lots of people got good and muddy in that corner

Bike and I are both okay, thanks! A bit of mud ground into the handlebars is all. It didn't actually hurt. I had just come out of a difficult corner and was relaxing when I hit a mud patch. Fortunately I was not going very fast, and just kind of slid gently into the mud. I'm tickled that the photographer got such a dramatic shot out of it, though. It cracks me up.
I did go down later in the race on my left side (that hurt!) and now have a big bruise on my thigh to show for that one.... :P Good luck, bluebug! You will have so much fun.
