Umeå-tråden
The pink shorts were thrown away in Åre, I was hoping that some of the photographers would have captured them, but I haven't seen any photos of them yet.
No real crash report, but one can say that I had an infortunate incident when regaining traction after a two-wheel slide in an off-camber section, and squeezed a delicate part of my body against the saddle, resulting in sore and blue genitals, twice their ordinary size.
This was on the qualifying run on saturday, and I managed to finish the run mainly on adrenaline I think. Off ocurse there were other crashes as well, I think I went over the bars at least twice a day, and Ravy, Aronsson and yooze did some spectacular crashes as well. It seems like 5 out of 6 frames cracked as well. Mine seems OK still as far as I can see.
Now they are all back to normal size, but blue-black-red, looks quite spectacular :)
I can bike with no problems, but since the bike is also in not the best conditions, I prefer to ride more by myself so people don't have to wait for me :)
Hopefully by next week both me and my bike will be more in shape.

It is quite short, but no problem to get more than full leg extension for me with a 410mm seatpost.
