MOUNTAIN BIKING Down and Out (Literally) or “My Latest Bike Wreck” been a near-daily biking destination for me – a trail, along with the Dead Ringer and Goose Bumps trails, I never tire of riding. But not today. Not right now. Right now I hurt like crazy and knew I needed help. Somehow, on this trail I knew so well, I’d found that special rock a-waiting, hidden just behind a bush immediately trail-side. Practicing for the upcoming Cactus Hugger, I was riding hard with my Garmin telling me I was climbing past 20mph, when a hit that rock with a hard pedal strike which had thrown me, head and shoulder first, hard onto the trail and knocked me head over tea kettle. A subsequent Rich post-surgery with his head still draining – a rough recovery. Photo by visit to the crash site revealed the Cozette Howard offending rock – and the near-miss Rich Howard at the “Six Hours of Frog Hollow” days before his crash on pedal strikes by many-a-rider passing the same trail. Photo courtesy Rich Howard the same spot. Finally I got enough of my wits about me to rise and find my bike had flown over me and down the trail. I staggered up and to my bike. I was plenty wobbly and fully in pain but getting more and more oriented to where I was and what I needed to do to get help. Heading back up the JEM to the van was a several mile hike – something I was not in any kind of shape to attempt. Sheep Bridge Road, which more or less parallels the JEM for much of its distance, was not too far to my east. So I headed cross-country and found the road. And most fortunately, The infamous “Pedal Strike Rock” showing numerous hits by riders of the found Morgan, a mountain biking JEM.

The com- munity had been in the news, most recently, for the local school chef who quit, leaving teachers and bus drivers to prepare the school lunches for the children!
