A great ride is when a guy breaks his collarbone and thrashes his 16k bike?

Well I wasnt, I was in the lead and I think he was moving to pass me when he hit the dirt or whatever he hit

Im not sure why he was so close. I didnt see him until he hit me and My bro was way in the back so it was the middle guy who got close

Glad no one got seriously injured. Just seems like a case of not paying attention to the dynamics of riding. And not riding the PACE.

Now things are making more sense. I couldn't figure out what was going on with two guys walking back to their bikes and the Statie running his tape measure a hundred yards or so down the canyon from where ya'll were parked. Besides not seeing any evidence of carnage.

Looks like shit hit the fan in one of the few passing areas going up Thompson.
