I'm not in much shape to type out my own report just yet, but you can
read Rory's at:
http://www.bmxnonstop.com/tahoebike/loon.html

Rory sent me the link and said it was in need of proofreading, so please
ignore his minor grammatical and spelling errors.

A link near the bottom of the page goes to Rory's account of my crash
and subsequent helicopter ride to the hospital.

Consequently, my wife and I cancelled our trip to the southwest that was
to have started Monday. Thanks again to those of you that helped me plan
the trip. I'll just have to do it some other time.


Glad to hear your ok......

Hope you heal fast, a question to anyone who has broken their

collarbone...
what happens if your on a solo ride, and you break your collarbone 25 KM

snip
....maybe it's 'cos I'm an 'old dad' but this is exactly why I'd never
consider a solo ride.... An accident is just that, totally unexpected. It
can easily throw you into a situation where you end up unconscious. Rare, I
know, but nevertheless. A broken collarbone is probably one of the least
problematic things you could experience following an accident 25km from
civilisation. I don't want to be responsible for a massive mobilisation of
emergency services, trying to locate me, through my own foolhardiness, when
there might be a genuine need for their services elsewhere....

Sorry to hear that, you should be back to strength pretty quick though. Just
make sure you lie straight at night and don't do what I did - rolled over in
the middle of the night....

Groooaaaaan! - Ya didn't outa tell that joke.........!

Mike - always good advice.


Try 47 (guessing) places. Least ways that's how I see it when they have to
remove 3 inches of bone 'crumbs' from your thigh muscle after it breaks.


Shaun aRe - chicks dig scars - I have an 18 inch scar - prolly why I'm
getting married...........

BTW the bike got off with a few scratches. There is a slight dent
observable in my helmet. I'll probably get it replaced. I got them back
today (along with the rest of my gear) from jeepers who live about 35
miles away from me. The cooperation and thoughtfulness among them was
stellar, from setting up radio relays to providing me a blanket, pillow,
food, water, and a steady supply of ice. One lady stood over me just to
keep the sun out of my eyes.

Welcome to the club. That was quite an adventure. Sorry it had to
happen, but you'll heal.

I would agree with you normally, but it's awkward because I have no-one to
ride with in my area. 99% of my rides are solo but not through choice.
