What happened?
If you got hit by a car in Paris, me too! Totally my fault, didn't see/clear a metal post blocking the entrance to a pathway. Shattered Distal Radius and fractured Ulna, the hospital in Paris immobilized it so I could fly home. Surgery 10 days later back in the USA. Being badly hurt, alone, in a foreign country was pretty traumatic experience. Thankful it happened in France though. They took good care of me. |

At the end of my 1st full day in Paris - the beginning of what was supposed to be a 2 month tour.

Pretty crappy experience though, geez Louise. I'm glad the medical folks took care of you properly. |

After years of hearing others talk about it, I finally rode the GAP and C&O Trails back in May.
Then in the fall, I joined a buddy for a trip around New York's Finger Lakes. Last time we had toured together was the PCH in 1998. Too long a gap. We'll ride again sooner, hopefully |
