Ok, are you all sitting down? This is a damn trip. Colins story begins as such; (understand, this was three weeks ago.)

"Last week I was involved in the worst bike crash I've ever been in. Stupid road bikes!

Here's the story for those of you who don't already know:

I was riding down Hwy1 above Davenport last Sunday with Preston and Michael. I was in the front at the top of a big hill doing about 30 in the bike lane. I looked down for a second, heard Preston yell car and looked up so see a Cadillac sideways directly in front of me. Evasive action time! From what I've been told I did a beautiful locked up drift around the back of the car but didn't quite make it. I clipped the back of my bike on his bumper and got tossed. I rag dolled down the Highway about 35-40 feet and fortunately stayed in my lane. I hurt everywhere but was conscious. The guy that cut me off got out to see if I was alive but then promptly took off, Preston got plates. Lots of people stopped including a doctor chick, after noticing how cute she was I decided I was going to live. After an hour of laying on the Highway I was loaded into an ambulance and taken to Dominican. Preston and Michael had to ride back. I got a large shot of morphine and took a bunch of Xrays. Besides the obviously broken right collar bone (damn, that was the good one) I had a cracked rib and a further CAT scan reveled a 4 inch long crack in my right pelvis. Looks like I'm not going to be doing much for a while. I spent two days in the hospital and went home to recuperate in Fremont. On Friday I went back to get a titanium plate put in my collar bone. I'm now stuck in my parents living room for a couple of weeks trying to get more mobile everyday.

The guy that hit me was arrested on Tuesday for driving without a license, driving without insurance, and felony hit and run. He's some local dirt bag with priors so I won't be getting any money out of him.

I do have health insurance and what's not being covered by that will be by AAA who so far have been awesome.

Other people in the awesome category are my work for letting me work from home while I recuperate, all of my friends who have visited me and wished me well, and most importantly my parents who are nursing me back to health with out complaint.

Thanks everybody,"

Then the saga continues today;

"Karma's a Bitch!

As most of you know I was hit by car on my bike three weeks ago. It was a hit and run and I was seriously injured. See the blog to catch up on that story because it gets crazier.
The dirt bag who hit me was arrested and released the next day pending charges. He goes surfing that afternoon and wipes out hard. He's now a paraplegic! Not that I wish paralyzation on anybody but it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

BTW, I'm getting better and more mobile everyday. I should be back together in a month.

Yeah. You guys chew on that for a little while.. Everybody have a good weekend, rubber side down and all of that other cliché nonsense.
