And there's no TV.

We might not be on the inside of everything that goes on with him, and that's fine. Great photo, Elden! Did Lance catch up to you for a photo op? :) Before the hospital run, that is. :) I think Elden is more private about mourning than we are– and he channels it into a) riding the wheels off his bike, b) raising funds for Livestrong and c) taking care of his family.

And Sara, I can assure you, as I stated before, it was meant in no disrespect whatsoever. It is genuinely out of concern. I don't believe there is anyone here that is not on Team FC, if not in person then in our hearts. Sending speedy recovery wished Elden. Thank you B4L.

I had written an angry comment earlier in response to AFans observations. Luckily I didn't press send....it wasn't nice. You expressed my thoughts without the nasty remarks. Hey, FC, hang in there. Sorry, was hoping you would bonk big time, not crash! We're all here, wishing we could help fix you. Cheers. Thank you, Born4Lycra.

FC has a great family support and friend support (the Core Team) network and I am sure they are keeping an eye on him. Yes he is mourning and lets face it he has been preparing himself to do so for a long time. We all approach this sort of stuff differently and I'm sure there is more emotional writing and venting to come but he is in safe hands and dealing with it his way. Just as an aside FC I bet you were on sub nine time when you pranged. Well this weekend was exciting Phillie is going to be huge hope you are okay to be involved.

Sent assurances that he is cut and bruised, but ok. He also mentioned that Lance won at 6:28 - with a flat back tire. Pretty amazing. Elden crashed out about 15 miles into the race.
