Well this ain't good...Seems our beloved Cap'n Ron took a digger somewhere near Tonasket on the big GS. Of course our first concern is the bike, but apparently it is ride-able and suffered only cosmetic damage (a LOT of cosmetic damage, but still).
We haven't spoken with or seen the Cap'n yet, but early reports are of a broken tibia and some compression fractures of 2 vertebrae. Yes, that counts as a broken back.
We at SailRunClimbRide are worried about Cap'n Ron and hope to be able to join him for therapeutic alcohol ingestion soon. Speedy recoveries. And for those of you on two-wheels, watch for wet, oily patches of pavement. As the Cap'n has learned, guard rails hurt.
See you soon, Cap'n.
