So when is a crack really a crack? Upon further review, the Rudy's Project helmet that was atop my noggin on Sunday apparently did suffer from the crash festival that broke out during my last lap. As I rode a moderate pace up the newly paved SouthGate Road on Diablo today at lunchtime, I noticed (as my helmet was draped over my bars--I know what you're thinking and I know that it should be on my head at all times--but I was going uphill very slowly) what looked like a small crack on the back of the lid. So I stopped and inspected further and low and behold, it's certainly cracked. But not all the way through and I couldn't find any others. Now my boy up in Oregon--goes by the name of Brian Marcy--would probably tell you that partly cracked is not totally cracked and therefore good to go. My boy in Folsom who can beat me would probably tell you that if you've got a cracked head, put a cracked helmet on it. Further, some of the letters on the side of it jumped ship on Sunday as well. So now it just says, R..y Pr.ject. No doubt there's a U, D, & O out on the trail side somewhere happy to be done with me and that helmet. Anyway, don't know what to do. Could be residual damage left over from the crash that is leaving me indecisive. Hope you know.
