    It looks like they have a long recovery ahead of them.

    2 incidents, same person

    Hi, One of my triathlete friends was injured twice over the summer too. Once in July, they were on a training ride and was (t-boned) hit by a car. He escaped serious injury except for the poor bike. They bought a new bike(were looking for one anyway) and was in a triathlon on a closed course in August and one of the course motorcycles t-boned them this time. This one required hip surgery and bike #2 is trashed. Please keep him in your prayers too. He is a terrific fellow w/ an indomitable spirit and I know he'll be back on the bike by next yr. Jenn

    I hope that both can make a quick recovery they are both in my prayers. It's sad how often bicyclists are hit by drivers now.
