Back from Berlin, bruised, battered and broken.

Hello friends,

Berlin is a hell of a town: rich history, friendly people, beautiful architecture, and really really strong delicious beer. Last Friday night; with the help of said booze I got myself into a bit of trouble at the post race alley cat party at the ECMCs. I'm a bit foggy on the details but there was a dark bike path and an evil curb involved. The cold hard fact is that my collarbone is broke into a couple of burdensome bits and I'm off the bike for at least six weeks, probably more like eight.

Since I'm dependant on the bike for income this situation is a bit of a proverbial bum fuck. I'm raking my tired, painkiller riddled mind for ways to hustle for some cash. Luckily, as you all know, the London scene is flippin' rad. There is an alley cat planned for tomorrow night kicking off from the foundry at normal race time. Sounds kinda fast and furious but if that's not your bag come down and register for a rad-ass spoke card designed by yours truly. The LCEF was also kind enough to donate a box of hats that will be on sale there for CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP! Additionally here are rumors of another race taking place a week from this Friday. Something along the lines of "Dash for the Crash." Stay posted for details. If that's not enough for ya’ll, the little lady and I are thinking of designing some charity grips. She's a professional sculptor so they should be pretty legit. It could be a week or two before they are ready but if there is interest I’ll get them out asap.

I cannot even begin to thank everyone for their support. I’m completely at a loss for how to express my love for this town and all my friends here. The accident was entirely my own fault, and to be honest entirely inevitable, and still everyone’s been coming to my aid. I’ll leave it at that before I start to weep.

It's just the painkillers talking ;)

Heal up well. I'll have a cap or two.

I will race on my polo gear for ya Mikey.
