I've been a very casual moutain biker for the last 10 years until about 18 months ago.  I had started to ride more consistently and get into decent shape until last March when I performed a high-speed over the handle bars head and shoulder plant!  After a stint in the emergency room with a badly broken wrist, separated shoulder, and concussion I took a couple months off to heal.  Now I'm back stronger and better than ever!--ready to make fun and fond memories with this great group of guys.
