Another accident....

Hi all! It's been a while since I last was on and I do apologize.

2009 started good but I took an unexpected detour when I broke open my collar bone and scapula injury this past Sunday in the Jeff's Cup 1/2/3 race in Virginia....Things were going so well for me and then....two guys went down in front of me and I landed square on my left shoulder again....I knew immediately that my collar bone was toast for the 4th time....! I could feel the damn thing moving and clicking...Hard to stay positive when stuff like that happens so early in the season...I was off to a really good start showing unusual strength on the bike....This is another 6-8 week set-back and I'm just hoping I'll still be able to race competitively this year....I've hit the asphalt 3 times in the last 6 months so I'm hoping this was it for a while....Unbelievable but as I always say; 'it's a humbling sport.' The other motivation is of course that Lance is out with his broken collar bone as well....I guess we'll both be on the trainer for the next few weeks....Be well and stay safe out there....the road is harder than your bones, skin and skull for sure....

In sports and see you all soon!
Espen :)
