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.

Bummer!
Send the Cap'n my best.
Cap'n here.
First - Thanks Mr. GVB and SRCR loyals for your concern. Next - no need to worry about the Cap'n. I'm doing fine. To all who ride or aspire to ride motorcycles, my accident is a good testament that good gear and a fit body can save you and your family a lot of grief. Had I not been wearing the very best of gear I do believe that the outcome of my 'get-off' would have been far different. As it is, I walked away. albeit on crutches and a little (OK, a lot) sore, with pretty minor and short term damage.
Cheers to all!
Cap'n Ron
Cap N:
Don't know you personally, but wishing you speedy recovery and all the best. Sorry about the bike (and the bones)
