Hank Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I'm going on a car ride with the club, and a group lunch, then I'm going on a real ride to grab some altitude. It's beautiful here, clear blue skies and 55°!! Edited January 16, 2016 by Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO I am keeping happy with my computrainer and my concept ii xc ski poling machine, and netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yetti Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 So there I was Dec 8th. It was a great December day for a bike ride. Took the ride with the least roads. Connecting bike paths and only one major road crossing. On my way from the bike path to the neighborhood there is only 450 yards of road. I going south a car is approaching from the north. I see his tire go across the center line I hit the brakes, then I see him turn back across the line. I was thinking whew that was close and then I was rolling off his hood onto the ground. as he accelerated into me. Broken septum. His quote from the accident report I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON SHERWOOD FOREST. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN LEFT INTO THE COLLISION CENTER. MY VEHICLE WAS 85 PERCENT INTO THE PARKING LOT. THE BIKER SPED UP AND STRUCK MY VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. Little does the driver know that I was GPS tracking my ride. I sure hope he tells some lies in court. You just can't get far enough away from stupid people to be safe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonal Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Did this really happen Yetti? If so hope all goes well and a full recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yetti Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yep. I have been off the bike since the 8th of Dec. It seems to be coming together just some pops and other things that seem to be working out. We just agreed on the bike repair. Close to $2000.00 for a new front end on the bike. It's a carbon steer tube, carbon stays that I did not want to ride after the crash. I was doing 15-18mph and it bent the front wheel out of alignment so it was a pretty hard hit. My left outer thigh left a big dent below the window pillar. A good size dent in the hood from where my elbow hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a skill handed down over generations in our family.

How to perform the Heimlich maneuver by yourself by slamming your chest against the edge of the dinner table.
