Wednesday

A bit of bad luck on the Wednesday Ride. Lyons Valley Road was a bit slick coming down from the store break. A couple of temporary "Creek" crossings were forded on the descent. Tammy, Jay, and Janel had pulled off the front and were dropping pretty fast - some training for when Janel heads out to Belgium for some Euro racing.

I was following a ways behind, I'm not the greatest descender and both Janel and Jay are pros. As I came around the last corner I found Janel sitting in the middle of the road, Tammy pulled off to the side, and Jay in the ditch - on her back with her bike lying on top of her. Apparently, Janel's tire washed out on the wet center line and hit the ground bruising her shoulder and hip, Jay missed her by flying into the ditch - breaking her pinkie and smacking her head enough to get a concussion.

That makes three crashes on that section in the past year.
