And don't forget about all that sand!

For those of us in areas where it snows, a reminder about sand still being on the roads. Buddie of mine went down a week ago at a traffic light. Light turned green, started out thru the intersection and next thing he knew he was on the ground wondering what the hell happened.

Bike just slide out from under him.

Was wearing most of his gear...helmet, leather jacket and gloves.

Apparently his head hit the ground pretty hard even at the low speed. Got a nice black eye and a hairline fracture in his cheek....all this with a full face helmet!!!

Also broke his right thumb and got some road rash.

Bike seems okay.

The sand here in C. Springs seems to be laid up in decceleration lanes and in intersections where cars don't travel much.

Just a reminder, especially as we look to be getting a fair amount of new riders and GSR members....

It doesnt snow where I live, but there is sand on the roads year round. :-)
