Taking it laying down

Today there were two many crashes on the group ride. Randy and Richard went down when a dog ran into the group. We think Randy broke/dislocated his shoulder while Richard was bleeding from his head profusely. They both were alert though and the group went on after Howard came back with his car to take them to the hospital. Before the main group hit the turnaround another crash happened. This time the guy was by himself and it appeared that he pulled his cleat out of his pedal which caused him to go down. He was knocked unconscious for about a minute. Thankfully we have a doctor that rides with us who quickly responded. The ambulance came to attend to our fallen comrade and we headed on back. What a weekend!!!

Wednesday I leave for Joe Martin so my next updates will be on the race. Until next time.
