A friend of mine has had about 5 concussions in the past 2 years I think. She’s been hit by a car twice and has had some other crashes. She didn’t race langley because she was recovering from a concussion. She raced on Sunday and had a terrible crash. Have not heard the cause but one of our team mates was behind her and went down as well. She got another concussion. Sounded like she was knocked out. I reached out to her and she says she’s okay. Crazy. I think I found someone that crashes more than me.
I have heard that after 2 concussions it has been recommended that football players quit playing. Trying to cut down on CTE, I guess.

Yea, but how many are going to give up their career over that? Not many, so they will just go unreported.

contractor expected the homeowner to allow his employees to use the restroom in the home. She said no way Jose'. So every time an employee needs to tap a kidney, it's 30 minutes to ho take a leak. He has to pay that guy for that time. And he was pissed about it. Can't blame him.

Valygirl had to quit racing crits and road races due to concussions. She then transitioned to hill climbs and TT's. It's not easy for a crit racer to transition to that, but she ended up being a state champion crit racer and a state TT champ.

I get lots of calls with people asking me to help them with contractor problems on their homes. My response is always that I do not handle residential or consumer issues.
Contractors working on my house or commercial property do not typically jack with me when they learn that one of my areas of expertise is construction law.

Shes a super individual. When Lily brought the kids to the race, she was overwhelmed with Simon, and couldn’t really give Amelia any attention. This individual instantly swooped in and it was like she knew Amelia for years. We just met her that day. Super cool of her. Hope she heals fast and yes, stop hitting her head.

That is what has always happened in the past. Now they have "concussion protocols" to try and keep track of things. I'm sure there are plenty of unreported head knocks going on but they have spotters in the stands who are supposed to notice when a player gets wobbly.

BF member gstienb quit mass start races after getting crashed out by other racers enough times. I think he was a NJ state champ a couple times and then switched to TT's and hill climbs. Did some track, too, but I think he gave that up.

from this morning's (virtual) TT on "Triple Flat Loops". Was super low energy last night for some reason so I felt tentative about going hard today. Aimed for a reasonable target and ended up pushing the AP up 5 watts in the second half. I think I would have had 10+ more watts on a better day. Next time!
3/3 in the A's, 3/39 overall

Started listing guitars for sale this week. Like selling kids.... if I price them what I think they're worth I'll never sell em.
and of course that led to trying to play. Now my thumbs are pissed at me.

I tried the just TT/Hillclimb crap after I broke my hip. It really sucked, and it wasn't my cup of tea. Mrs. LAJ told me to just go race.
