Ok so I was planning on running today and didnt. For those that didnt hear my bike tragedy on facebook here goes....My wife picked me up so I didnt have to bike in the rain from work and forgot my bike was on the roof and ran through our garage. Dont know exactly how much the damage is but I know its unridable. So...I either run to work or leave my truck at the trax parking lot. Will see what I can do.

bad luck, bummer. kind of reminds me of what chevy chase did in national lampoons vacation...

From Walter on Mon, Nov 08, 2010 at 23:42:56 from 24.10.169.110

I am Chevy Chase by the way! My wife thinks im his double. lol

From Carina on Mon, Nov 08, 2010 at 23:43:22 from 204.15.86.83

:-( That really stinks

Your wife has good taste. "Fletch" and the original NL Vacation (not the lame sequels) are two of the greatest comedies ever made, IMHO. Got to love the portrayal of Utah County culture in Fletch. Pretty accurate too! Love that movie!

Carina, I always wondered if I could run to work and home. Its 6 miles from trax to my house. I'm not good at running with a backpack though. Lol

Scott, I absolutely love Christmas vacation and Vegas vacation. I'm often caught while looking out my window to my back yard as I picture a pool in my back yard with a model in it. Haha

I know it's not at all funny, but I had to laugh cause I did that once before too, Completely ripped the gutters off of my car, and destroyed my bike and bike rack.

From Rye on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 20:22:37 from 174.27.113.31

I love to cycle... Curious, how spendy of a bike ???? That's a bummer. If it happened to be a nice carbon bike.... Well I hope business is good!

From Walter on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 21:22:18 from 24.10.169.110

Hey Rye, it was a Trek Madone 5.5 I think its a 2007. Yes its all Carbon fiber. Even the seat post. Im still waiting to hear back from Canyon Cycles.

From Rye on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 23:18:13 from 174.27.113.31

Ok it's not funny any more! Ouch! I have a Specialized Roubaix that I love. It would be hard to just replace it. Good luck with that and I will keep my chuckles to myself.

From Walter on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 23:25:53 from 24.10.169.110

Im growing closer to getting a claim dealt with so I can keep the chuckles to a minimum. lol Yeah I think I would look at a different brand if I bought another bike. There are a lot out there now. I really liked the postal colors that Trek had a few years ago.
