Bike Crash

Well, I knew it had to happen eventually. Hopefully, I have paid my dues now. I was coming down the Kanc, in the pouring rain, low vis, following and fell in a hole while in the aerobars. I lost control, went down and skid across the yellow line, jumped up, saw cars coming in the distance, grabbed my bike and ran to the other side of the road which was closer. I paced, walking, wondering how I felt ok. Then I wanted to lie down, so I sat. My hand hurt, it was cut up, one really deep one, but I was so lucky! No cars ran me down, the wet roads made me slide well enough to get very light road burn, and my GSTC heavy jacket took the brunt of the tearing on my arm. Only my left elbow got torn up. My ribs hurt, my left leg had some burns, but now I know why I am called Luckee triathlete! My bike had not a scratch to the new frame, just the left handlebars got torn up, nothing some new tape cant fix. My friends were wonderful, flagged down a ride, checking me, driving me, calling me.
The Kanc has scored 2 points on me. I can still remember the freezing cold dark ride down the Kanc 2 years ago now. This time it was horrible pavement. And they sell the Kanc as a great ride for bikers, of the cycling variety.

Turkey Trot Turkeys
The spirit of Saturday's Turkey Trot in downtown Wolfeboro was not lost on these four runners, who got decked out in their Thanksgiving garb for the 16th annual race, which benefits the Wolfeboro Lions Club's fuel assistance fund. Left to right, Lisa Davy of Laconia, Jennifer Marts of Sandwich, Jacklyn Calley of Laconia and John Eisner of Meredith won prizes for their great running gear. See race results in the sports section.
