My memorial day ride was the Horsey Hundred in Georgetown,Ky. Been doing this ride since 83. Some years we get rained out at least one day. This year only got rain on the last 15 mi on Sunday.
I met Snake-eyes from this bikeforum. Turns out he's been riding with the local cycle club. I put him onto the rides and my partner met him before me.
There was the strangest accident on this ride. On a very scenic road there is a sharp curve, then an old stone bridge. On the right as you come down there is a little mill with a waterfall. You can't fly down this hill.
Well, when we got to the bridge there was a cyclist in the creek! Somehow, he hit the bridge, went over the stone wall and into the creek. The whole right side of his face was all bloody! No one seemed to know him or how the accident happened.
I wasn't sure if he was alive but others who saw him later said he was sitting up.
We never did find out what happened or how serious the cyclist was injured, but at least he was alive!
