Hi Rich,
Ha good to hear from you! Thanks for the reply. Something like this is so unusual that it makes one wonder what it might be. Good to know that it is not others experience as well. Thanks again.

I was flying my TR-1 at about 140kt IAS on a beautiful calm summers day. Suddenly the aircraft hit such a bump that my passenger hit the roof and split his head open on the door hinge; what a mess! (the passenger, not the aeroplane)
after regaining our composure, I began to wonder what could cause such a violent bump. I then thought, Sh1t! What if I've hit another aircraft? I was so concerned that I might have that I flew to the nearest airfield and did a low fly-by so they could check the condition of my landing gear and underside. Thankfully, there was no damage; and it proved that there wasn't any impact either.
Having discussed this at length with several other pilots, we put it down to Wake turbulance from a heavy jet. Apparently it is possible for wake turbulance to descend many thousands of feet below airliners when the conditions are calm. I was directly under the flight path of heavies departing from a London Airport but about 12 miles away.

Hi Jesse,
It sounds like you hit wake turbulence from something big. It can get pretty violent. You might want to look at the Denver arrival charts and see if you were under any of the arrivals. Denver approach usually keeps us right on the arrivals and they slow us down when we get around 30 miles from DEN so we're clean and slow which makes for maximum wake.

Thanks for the comment Scott,
I would have been about half way between Centennial and the flight path into DIA at about 7500 ft. There was a front moving through that day and I wonder if that might have had something to do with it. Any way I put the new with fillets on my plane and wanted to make sure that wasn't the culprit. Since no one else has had the problem I suppose that could have been it. I can certainly attest to the fact that this is one whale of a strong spar to have survived that. I'm glad I wasn't in one of those others that are loosing wings.

As an illustration of how 'violent' they can be, a number of years ago I was on a 737 returning to Chicago, descending over Lake Michigan in super-smooth air when the plane suddenly rocked strongly to the right, then strongly to the left, and back to the right before settling out. When I left the cabin I asked the crew if it was wake turbulence, and they confirmed it. BIG plane, violent roll.
