Default not such a good weekend

Well it started out ok ,went on the Vancouver toy run on Sunday, about fore thousand bikes came out,
that was down from ten thousand last year, but it was raining very hard and the wind was unbelievable,
but the kids got over eight thousand toys and some cash.
then Monday i was going riding with my son and daughter up to stave lake,
loaded up her quad and the bikes ,every thing going smooth so far,
the road up to the lake was very rough with lots of pot hole' we were almost at the top,
when i saw my bike go over the side of my trailer, i hit the brakes but the damage was done
one of the straps let go when i hit a pot hole, the bike was jammed under the trailer and a trail of plastic behind me,
i could notstart the bike because the key was bent so i don't know what damage was done to the wires,
i willlook at it more tomorrow ,i hope you had a better weekend.

Sorry to see it. I watched mine go off one of those bike caddy hitch carriers earlyer in the year when one of the straps let loose.

Ah, man... Sorry to see that. I live in dread of something like that happening to me.

I hope it's all fixable.
