Always wondered what I would have to do to get twittered!
Don't do it.  That cemetery is now a death trap.  I commute
uphill through it every morning and ride over two of the "bumps".
I ride downhill only Tuesday evenings after my Tualatin rides.
Last week it was smooth sailing...this week a land mine.
This really, really sucks.  Greg and I were going to race
Furnace Creek together next week.  This is my worst injury
in 280,000 miles of riding.  Six weeks minimum to recover.
There are at least three breaks in my right scapula and clavicle,
not to mention massive bruises down my right side.  The one
positive thing was having fellow rider Bruce Carter as my x-ray
tech when I checked into Milwaukie Providence emergency....
after riding home on my own.

  Saw it on the BikePortland twitter feed:
  "Sad news. Local riding legend Del Scharffenberg broke his collarbone and
  shoulder blade on the Riverview Cemetery speed bumps Tuesday night."
