Training Update - 19 Days to go!!!!

2011 Miles to date - 3,574
2 Weeks of training left
Last century ride scheduled for 6/4

I had a bad fall a couple of weeks ago, I hit a very slick spot going through some water under a small overpass and my bike just slid from under me.  My left knee hit the pavement and slid for about 15 feet.  I also took out another rider going the opposite direction.   I could have been much worst, my knee just missed a metal grate that would have torn up my knee, all I got was road rash on my left Knee.  My hands were banged up but nothing bad.  The other rider was uninjured.   My bike, however, was a different story, the handle bar snapped, from the collision into the other rider, it was not ride-able.  Fortunately there was a very nice young lady that helped me out.  She witnessed my fall and she stopped to make sure I was OK.  Her name, I believe was Joy.   She is a lifeguard and graduating from UCSB  with a masters degree in education.  Anyway she gave me a lift home.  Now if more people were more like Joy, willing to go out of there way to help a complete stranger, this world would be a much nicer place to live in.

THANK YOU JOY!!!!!!
