So I have an announcement to make that affects this ride. As I finished my last planned ride with the bracelet I removed it from my bike to clean my bike and set the bracelet on the trunk of my wifes car. The bracelet is rather large and had I worn I would have lost it out riding so I had it on my bars.

Well.....I completely forgot I put it there and you can prolly guess MOST of the rest of this story. But alas it is not lost! It is ANOTHER WOUNDED WARRIOR of sorts. By the time I got to it, it had been run over by a car

It has suffered severe trauma from which full recovery is not possible. Her clasps have been broken off and her dog tag folded up into a roll making her unrecognizable!

Soooo, here is my question, should I send the wounded bracelet along now or order a new one and wait to send it out with that? What would everyone like me to do?

I apologize for creating a mess for everyone on this. In an odd way it almost seems apropos.

I'm fine with just throwing it in my jersey pocket, but I am open to hearing the consensus among the riders.
