Sorry this is a bit long. (Please move if in wrong place)
Last Sunday I was riding Fromme (a rare event) with a friend. After a solid day we called last trail. Well that was a bad call, I misjudged speed on the last drop- transition on Natural High. I ended up doing a swan dive sans bike from top to flat bottom, landing hip first on a rock. Stupidly I decided to try and walk out.
My friend helped me for a bit while carrying all the gear, then called around for help. A hiker (Rick) out walking his dogs came by and helped me the best he could. He had to leave due to being diabetic and needing food but he went and talked to some riders (Ryan and his wife) who then went out of their way to help crutch me out to the main road. Along the way we met a kid who was out riding with his dad who happened to be a first aid instructor and said to get to a hospital after a check. At the road; a very nice homeowner(Judy) said she could keep the bikes safe for the night while my friend went and got the car.
So after all of that I ended up with a broken pelvis [HTML_REMOVED] elbow plus a week in hospital.
I am forever indebted to those who helped me out. If Ryan and his wife belong to this forum, Thank you very much.:D If the First aid instructor and kid are on here Thank you very much as well, sorry I never caught your names.
Goes to show that people on the Shore are some of nicest most helpful people out there and thanks for that.
Brett.
