Thanks all for the well wishes for my injured friends. I think they are doing as well or better than expected.
@
Heathpack, appreciate you consideration to join us.
USAC actually refunded our entry fee but Todd and I still want to do the race.
Strange thing about the incident is that I don't remember thinking I'm going to hit them. I couldn't see James well as I was in the aerobars and Greg is quite a bit taller than I. I could only see a bit of James as he started crashing and then Greg hit him or his bike and Greg started going over his bars. I remember leaning to the right to miss them but I don't recall thinking that it was really close. After getting past them and getting to the brakes I was probably 20 meters or more down the road and they were laying in very close proximity to each other. Todd was quite a way down the road before he looked back and stopped.
Got to spend some time at Urgent Care with Greg as he rode to our session. His wife showed up while he was in triage. BTW, she's a nursing professor.
@
Racer Ex, I don't understand any part of the scheduling process that SCNCA uses. I've been baffled for a decade. I know that Directors for SCNCA are unpaid (though I believe they get reimbursed for expenses) and that it is generally a thankless job, but the people that held those positions until this spring seemed to value their position more than the service they were supposed to provide. There was a wholesale turnover in positions this year. We'll see if the new people do better. After I retire...
