Default WHOOPS! 12-year-old kid breaks his arm mountain biking

This is blatant child abuse.

Subject: MORCA Mary to the Rescue at SeaOtter

Here's a Shout-Out to MORCA board member Mary Pozzi, and Cat 3 rider who was the only person Sunday morning who stopped and dropped out of her first SeaOtter race to help a 12-year old boy who had crashed and broken his arm on the upper third of Trail 49 heading northward toward Eucalyptus Road.

She found him crying on the side of the trail holding his arm in pain. Evidently some other racer had dragged his bike off the trail and left him there. The poor kid was from Florida and probably had no idea where he was. His dad was waiting for him at the feed zone, many miles ahead and no cell service.

Mary escorted the boy down the trail, carrying both her bike and his, and flagged down a passing pickup truck, which fortunately was a medic. Then she called the dad and left a message that his son was hurt, but OK, and she was with him. She then rode up with the kid in the back of a pickup truck to the main medical tent, where he was reunited with his dad.

Hurray for Mary! I bet that kid really appreciated Mary as his guardian angel for the day.

I say Mary should get a free race entry next year so she can complete her first SeaOtter race! She has earned it (as well as her many hours of volunteering, including patrolling the track Sat night for the Magic Shine event)..

woo hoo!!
