Welcome, Mr. Biscuit!
Glad you had a great time, sorry to hear about the crash. That's like, a bummer, dude. You weren't the only one that busted a clavicle that fine day...
My advice is to go get that bike ordered pronto, time is a wasting. Being that your wife is so understanding, she surely won't have a problem with dropping a dime on a fatty. Global Fat Bike Day is December 7th, so time is ticking and trust me, you won't want to miss that one.
Also, I hope you don't mind when I am putting together the Enchanted Stomp if I can use your timeline of events to promote the ride? That summed up the day pretty well.
Cheers!
