Gerry and I rode ouy to watch Snelling road race sat. Saw start of mens 1-2 over first hill and crash at bottom of hill. Someone in front went down. 30+ hit the pavement at 30 mph. dozen had to quit injuries or broken bikes.
ANOTHER —–confirmation on my decision to stop racing!!!! Besides the broken clavicals, ribs, facial lacerations, road rash, and dental work, these poor, (or rich) boys are gonna have to come up with a LOT of bucks to replace the frames and wheels and all the other comps. that are damaged. OUCH!!!!! Marcus Spartacus and I had a really fine ride without any of the above.!!!!
I’ll be up in Murphy’s today with my Dee so you boys have a great ride while the sun shines!!!!
Hey Gerry, Could you post the link to FaceBook? Med update, my first day back on the bike, 15 miles of mostly flat and just spinning, should be able to hit it hard in a week or so. Don’t want to pop anything on the inside. Ride safe boys!!!
