Hi Frank; My riding buddie told me about your video when we were on a ride this past weekend so I checked it out. I'm the crash victim. It was such a bizarre crash. A piece of pipe or metal rod kicked up from the rider in front of me and flipped up and made it through my spokes and when the rod spun around and hit my front forks, they sheared off and I went straight in to the road @ 35 mph. Still recovering from two surgeries by finally riding again....on a new bike. Thanks for the well wishes.
seabuilt: Thank you for the update, I'm glad to hear you're both recovering, and riding again. The accounts I had heard about your accident at the time were pretty close to what you described, and yeah, that sounds really bizarre, how can you prevent something like that? Hope to see you at next year's ride. FG

Great job Frank - the ride, the video, and the music. Thanks! I'll join you next year if you do it again.
