Permalink Reply by FlynBrian on August 26, 2009 at 5:42pm: There I was, Friday evening (14 Aug) running on the side walk minding my own business when suddenly-I woke up Saturday morning in the local hospital. Some dumbass drunk german (passed out drunk according to polizei) hit me with his car and then left the scene. I was facing traffic and the guy hit my left leg?? That would mean, he almost hit the house too. According to my wife, I was awake enough to tell the local SP where to find her, I received a Helo ride to the hosp, and I was making jokes all Friday evening with everyone visiting. I just don't remember what happened. A good thing I guess-I didn't feel it until the next morning. I was up and out of bed Sunday-walking around the hallways. At this point in time, I have a small hop in my step and can't really pull up on the pedals just yet. I have done a 40 K ride and ridden the single speed a couple times.
But with everyone deployed-I might have a chance to podium-I have to take advantage of that!!! So, as long as I can get a few miles in before that weekend, the wife and I will be there. Maybe not to win, but to relax.
And if I get any money, there will be a big party:); ▶ Reply to This

I so want to go.
Maybe my underhanded plea through the PAO of 1AD, will convince my Boss's Boss to make sure I get to go and race for America's Tank Division.; ▶ Reply to This

Hope to see you there (really), if they run an article in the local paper send me a copy.

I would love to do the Garmisch race, I have fond memories, but need a sponsor to sign me (and my wife/ kid) in so I can race. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

The race is actually off "base" in a sports field/lodge area and it's easy to get to. Most of the time the lodge is full because of Octoberfest so most of us stay out in town.

I think this used to be part of the a German series. There are still some local Germans who come out to race and there used to be a lot more. Really fast mountain goat types. I don't remember seeing anything about non-mil riders not being able to race, but I don't think you'll get series points.

Can anyone help out Ken and his crew in case he does need someone to sign him in? I won't be there, but I can vouch for him.

April and I should be down there around 5 pm tomorrow. We will be in Oberau at the Hotel Forsthaus. Anyone for an evening ride, let us know. we are going for a spin after we arrive. There is a restuarant across the street if anyone wants to join us.
0151-2147-7336 is my cell. I think it works down there. If not, look for the Mazda with the bikes on top and start yelling.
