WOW! Great news that they believe he will ride in the Tour!
Tracy... he is SO welcome to recoup at my place... and I'd even be willing to have his wife and baby girl stay too! See how generous I am????

I just received an email from a friend in NC . . . title of email "In Honor of George". Seems as though my friend crashed yesterday on a group ride breaking his clavicle and separating his shoulder. He's going to need surgery. He said the pain popping the shoulder back in place was horrible. I've seen a shoulder popped on TLC (love that show "Trauma: Life in the ER"), and from my vantage point, I'm thinking, "knock me out, please."
Glad to hear the good news about George. Funny thing is, my friend is a photographer and was going to the Tour De Georgia. Now both will be recuperating.

Cari: from the video - his handlebars snapped off at the stem and he went down - hard. It was a very ugly fall and I would Love to know what Treks statement is on this or if it's a Trek issue?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
