Buddha is down for the count
With the UPSman back on the roster, the Pac NW AllStarz were poised to make a presence for the rest of the Cross Crusade as well as USGP & Cross Natz. Except for the fact that my ongoing battle with a very persistent health condition has me down for the ’09 cx season indefinitely.
An ambulance ride later, I find out I tore up some of the intercostal muscles on my right flank…you know, the ones that connect your ribs to each other
In the meantime, I’ll be at the races cheering on the rest of my Syndicate brothers and taking some pics of the action! Also, check out the sweet beanie a friend of mine made in the ’09 Crossniacs colors!
Peace bruddas!

Dude…sorry to hear that bro. Heal up
You crash?
sadly enough, it was from a chronic cough & complications with my asthma (which have kept me out of the last 3 races).
I coughed so hard today that I heard a huge pop & hit a 10/10 on the pain scale.
Nice hat! Sorry to hear about the cough and injury. Hope you don’t have to cheer mime-style.
Aloha-Ouch!!! We have a nice rehab center here called “Beach”. Occasionlly roll yourself into the water like a lazy Sea Lion… it seems to work…. Oh, and a Pina Colada helps too.
Hope ya feel better!

I feel your pain…I spent the summer recovering from two torn ankle ligaments. Rest up and listen to the doc/PT!
