That's My Bro...

Smile for the camera!

This is an entry from my brother: Big bike crash. I'm not sure what happened. I remember leaving for my ride around 3pm. I know I got to the top of the hill on River Road and turned around and had some water. Then I have a few fleeting memories of thinking I would have to buy some new glasses, and that my fork now had an extra 90 degrees of rake, although I'm not sure which direction. The cops are holding my bike for me in New Jersey somewhere. Then I was lifted into an ambulance and asked a bunch of questions I couldn't answer like "what day is it?" and "what time is it?" I think I may have been unconscious for about 30 minutes to an hour before the cops found me. At the hospital they did a CT scan and x-rays, which all look normal, although there was no specialist on duty. I trust the radiologist will get back to me if he sees something later. I have 5 stitches in my chin--"your skin is torn, not cut," the nurse said. Also, a big headache, and I can't make a fist with my right hand, although the x-ray was normal.Well, this weekend's ride is off. I guess I'll be moving ahead with my winter bike upgrades faster than I had planned. I hope it doesn't include a new frame.
