OOPS SHE DID IT
AGAIN
Staged reenactment used for forensic purposes
A mere month after
Ken Burns published
her biography "Profiles in Courage", Kristin Aurora has met with
tragedy again. This time the consequences were more dire.
After her near death crash and
subsequent heroic comeback Kristin decided when the chips are
down, it's time to upgrade. She purchased a new 2007 Specialized
with clipless pedals. Her intentions were to show she was
in it for the long haul. "I wanted to send a shot across
the bow of the mountain bike community. I am here to stay.
After the honor of being presented with a Drivers Club headset
cover there no way I could quit."
 Training
had been going well under the watchful eyes of Heather the
Hammer and Justin Aurora. Having her feet attached to the
bike was a new experience for Kristin, but she seemed to be
taking to it very well. She immediately noticed the
increase in power with each pedal stroke, as well the enhanced
balance. This is when Heather convinced her it was time to
hit the trails. It sounded like a good idea, so they took
off to Pets. After riding several loops with Heather and
Justin Kristin was beginning to feel pretty good about herself,
maybe a little to

good. As a trio they
began to slowly ride back to the parking lot on the road.
Kristen began to lag behind as her
ADD kicked in. Soon after Heather and Justin heard
"What a pretty butterfly", and then a crashing noise. It
seems that while watching the "pretty butterfly" Kristin was
unable to unclip from her mud filled pedals and had a fairly
impressive 3 mile per hour wipeout.
When they looked back they saw
Kristin on the ground with the end of her handlebar impaled in
her chest. Her first crash was blamed on inexperience, this one
was just plain bad luck. Once again she was rushed to the
ER and after a series of tests the diagnosis was a dislocated
rib with a collapsed lung.
Kristin is now home
convalescing while awaiting the possible installation of a
