Gravel rashed froo froo white is the fastest color


« on: July 13, 2009, 11:57:15 AM »

Gwendy brought home some fine Virginia mud, dirt, clay, and grass.

She is bruised and sore but nothing broken.   Wine, motrin, and hot soak in the tub will fix.

Had a slight argument with turn one at VIR.   Turn one won. 

I'll encourage her to post up.

Glad to hear she's relatively ok, Chris.

Heal up Gwendy!

sorry to hear that - sounds like it was mostly agricultural rather than with the pavement.  I'm headed there in August for cornerspeed and Turn 1 always seems the most intimidating.

here she is on day one starting to get close to ground clearance issues:




on day two she was hanging off and going much faster than day one.

Then she scraped something while hanging off going faster in turn one than she had all weekend.   From what we can tell she may have stood it up a little, but she hit the dirt still leaned over a ways.   

She doesn't think she grabbed the brake, and of the folks who saw it, nobody said she was looking at the grass and heading straight for it target fixated.

Can't tell if she hit pavement at all but we don't think so, so we're not thinking hard parts levering the back off the ground and lowsiding or grabbing front brake and washing out the front.


lessons?   increase speeds slowly to give brain time to adjust, try to not panic when something touches, if something touches lean off more.

glad she is okay and hopefully she is not scared to get back on the horse!  hopefully any damage to the bike is easily fixable. if you need or want a hand fixin' up her bike, I am willing to trade some time out on the boat for wrenching services!  Wink  well, I;d come out and help wrench anyway! Gwendy's cooking more than makes up for that!
