Glad to hear he's ok.

I talked to Eric yesterday afternoon, and he's absolutely fine. The bike looks like it has less than $1k of damage (with all the gadgets and bling on the BMW, that's pretty low). He rides in Baja and on the dirt a lot, so this crash rates as no big deal for him.

Oh, and sfarchie, if you get that "should I just go home" feeling, that's a sign to turn around.  Many of us have done exactly that when we got a sense that all might not be ok.  It screws up your ride, but there are always other rides.

I know the feeling. I was a bit spooked after Eric crashed, and I was inclined to head home, at least to make sure Eric made it back to his house. But Eric insisted that we press on, and Alfonso said that we should press on so we did. The mc cop also said the road dried out up ahead. It turned out to be kind of fun. Still plenty of people at Alice's, and a decent ride up the ridgeline...even with the pea soup.

I thought it was Marija's boyfriend Chris? I'll have to ask her today.

You might be right.  I thought it was Marija herself.
