Hi Randy,

 

Well after our wonderful ride yesterday I got in a bit of a pickle.  About a mile from saying goodbye to you, I was involved in a hit and run at blue oaks and Woodcreek oaks.  I don't remember anything about it.  Just riding along and the next thing I know I've got paramedics asking me my name and strapping down my neck and body to a board and off to the hospital emergency room in the back of an ambulance.  that was at 2:30PM.  Three x-rays and two ct scans later I was released at midnight.  I'm on crutches now and mostly just pain in my ankle, lower leg, hip (big time) and lower back...all on the left side.  Like I said, I don't remember anything...the cops who showed up said it was called into 911 as a hit and run and they were looking for a car but I told the officers that I don't have any recollection of that.  They asked me how I crashed and I said that maybe I hit a hole or bump or something but wasn't sure what happened.  Because I lost conciseness they had to strap me down and do the ct scan.  This was probably the first ride in a long long time where I didn't bring a cell phone or information on myself.  If I had been in really bad shape they would not have known who to call.  So for all of you getting this, make sure you always carry identification even for a short 1 hour ride with a buddy. 

 

I'll be at home for the week laying in bed jacked up on motrin and vicodin as I can't even put my pants on right now or sit in a chair.  Bike ended up pretty ok.  I'll have to replace both front shifters as they were smashed pretty good but if I was hit by a car it must have grazed me or touched my wheel or something because my bike is still in one piece.  I'll need a new helmet though...let me tell you this, if you ride without a helmet you're retarded.  This helmet saved me from cracking my head wide open.  I barely have a mark on my head but my helmet is kaput.

 

Oh, I won't be making the ride today!
