Looking at your travel path you took it could have been so much worse (ie.face planting on a tree or rock) Glad they found your oaks, great support team! Hope your using arnica gel for any bruising or sore muscles, great stuff! Now we know that you have recuperative powers...what about your bike? Hope all is well and able to roll! ~lisa~ OOOWWWWWW!

I heard someone went over the edge on the pavement descent. I didn't find out it was you till today. I am so sorry it happened but so happy you are OK. Leadville will be there next year for you, maybe we can ride some together next year. Happy trails. Andy Elden,

You did a flop and landed perfectly between those boulders. So glad that the boulders were not hurt or were they. They did receive medical attention? Sure hope so . Lance or Wiens left the glasses there so they could be found. Fatty please consider using an avalanche transmitter from now on or do not pick such steep areas for your flights off the road. Fatty shall ride again !!! go get um Cheers DuffBeer Fatty ,

I found the first two links in their piece of interest: "Fat Cyclist Crashed out" "Lance Won" Hmmm, so did you crash, or decide to take (a far too literal) dive to let Lance have his podium moment?

Impressive. And you got your glasses back, on top of it all. Kevin rocked. So did John. Always nice to have helpful people, and Kevin did the right thing by having you NOT MOVE, your injuries could have been severe. You look really tired in that pic, so get a massage, take a hot shower, eat some lunch and take a nap. Rest up and get better for Philly!!! Your legions of fans await!

Especially because I feel like a complete dummy for shouting out "Yo! Fatty!" as I blasted down the pavement and saw you standing by the side of the road. My only excuse is my sunglasses were so muddy & streaked with water that I didn't see your wounds. I just figured you were taking a nature break. Yikes! Elden – I’m so sorry to hear about your crash!
