Worst wipeout: Raid the Rock Adventure Race 2007. First time on the bike, muddy, steep, rocky, sliding all over the trail, got thrown under a large briar patch, wedging myself and the bike in a big mess of thorny brush. Vines locked around the drive train, clothes stuck to the briars, it took two guys to pull me and the bike out. All I could do was laugh and wish I had it on video.
