Manhattan Beach Gran Prix- one year out.

Today is the 2009 Manhattan Beach Gran Prix. One year ago today (actually tomorrow the 29th) I crashed hard 20 meters before the final turn just before the 5 laps to go bell rang. For a variety of reasons, which were beyond my control, it would have been wise not to race that day. No regrets though. Remnants of my injuries still linger. "Time heals all wounds"...but scars remain pretty much sums it up.

In no way do I feel better off for this experience. I must say though, I've gained some insight and empathy along the way.

Reached the one year mark and have been riding, racing, and loving every minute of it.
