Elite  2915    New City, New York |  Subject: CRASH - season's overSpent the moring in the ER than the Ortho. I broke my collorbone badly. If I was elite they'd prolly operate. Guess I s/b happy I'm a MOP'er. out 6- 8 weeks min. It happened so fast I'm not really even sure if this is right- took a nice shot to head too. Kid was walking a dog on an extender leash. Dog took off after me. Kid stopped him, but I sped up in fear anyway. Took hard left turn then hit some gravel. I must've overcorrected bc I went right over the handlebars landing on my right shoulder and head. I was concious but out of it. Cops, EMS and my wife were on the scene quickly. Those people and the emergency room people were awesome! Those of you in that field truely are amazing - Thank you! Hurts like a SOB. Percoset is on the way. And the bike looks o.k. We'll both live to race another day just not this year Doc said NYC or MCM w/b a good goal. Be safe people and please always wear your helmet. I'm sure it saved me today. |

Master 1779 | Subject: RE: CRASH - season's over Sorry to hear about your accident. Most of my friends who have broken their collarbones end up sleeping in a recliner for a few weeks. At least the Tour starts in July. How is your bike? Did they cut your helmet, shoes or cycling clothes? We have a club joke that if we're ever in an accident the other riders need to strip us before the ambulance crew shows up. Nothing like having the strap of your $$$ helmet or shoes clipped off! Glad your okay! |

Champion 5575 Butler | Subject: RE: CRASH - season's over Sorry to hear that and glad you are okay. I hate those stupid leashes and people who can't control their animals. I was running one day and a kid on a bmx bike was walking his pitbull. The dog started running at me dragging the kid on his bike. I thought I was a gonner but the kid stop the dog about 5 feet from me. Had to go home and change after that. |

Cycling Guru 15134 Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: CRASH - season's over Man that sucks ...... you're on the same bus as Brian (except he did get surgery and a nice new metal rod in his shoulder). But the good thing is ...... you will heal and come back more motivated to get back in form! Here's wishing you a PR in recovery time! :raises beer: |

Champion 6056 Menomonee Falls, WI | Subject: RE: CRASH - season's over Sorry to hear it, brother. I hope you heal quickly and can get back in the game soon. I also find it the connection between your screen name and this incident sadly ironic. Get better soon! |

Champion 8766 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: CRASH - season's over Sorry to hear that and glad you are okay. I hate those stupid leashes and people who can't control their animals. Slightly unfair statement to make. If you NOTICED, the OP said that the kid stopped the dog but OP decided to sprint away anyway. There is NOTHING wrong with extendable leashes. To the OP--I'm SO glad your noggin' is okay and you will live to train another season! That is what is really important. Look at how fast TH3_FRB bounced back last year! Take care of that wing and do whatever you can! But this is an alarming trend...you are at least the THIRD BT'er I know in the last MONTH that has broken that bone... |
