  1. Tomorrow my buddy Bob goes into surgery to fix up a broken collar and
    shoulder bone. It was bad enough that the docs here recommended him to a
    specialists in Denver.
    The crash occurred on Saturday as we were finishing a great local loop,
    up Jones, across Pinkerton-Flagstaff, down Dutch and out Hermosa. The
    kind of crash we have all had, on a pretty easy section, "smelling the
    barn", and boom, before anyone knows it he is broken. If you know this
    ride, you know making it down Dutch without incident for anyone is not
    trivial, and we had no problems there.

    Bob completed his 9th Leadville 100 just a week (or was it 2) before, in
    his personal best time. He is no slouch as a rider.

    So send out good vibes for a fellow rider, please.
    Thanks!

    Best of luck to him! Sounds like he's in good hands.

    Damn. That sucks.
    A bunch of people I know piled up on the road last night. Some bones
    broken, flesh lost and even a bike run over by a car (but the rider).

    Hopefully it's not something going around.

    Good shoulder thoughts to your bud!

    Best of luck to Bob, I'm sending him some healing vibes...

    Speaking of falls in easy sections, that happened to me yesterday...I was
    riding through a section that was tight full of thorn bushes and it felt
    like one got jammed in my arm, I looked down at my arm to see if it was and
    before I knew it, I went sideways on my bike landing on my opposite elbow.
    It could have been a stupid ugly injury for no reason, luckily it wasn't.

  11. He'll be better as soon as he is able. Broke mine in 3
    places 25 months ago. Didn't go under the knife but the pain was was bad
    bad bad. The pain and the sling made even the morning paper hard to
    read. And I tried to recover some lawn chairs which was harder then hell
    with one working armand hand. Two years later it only hurt to the touch.
