Velo Vol,
That's a great ride report. The guy that wrecked was in our group. He's ok, but took a bad spill in that curve. Lost control and hit a stop sign which knocked his seat off, leaving the seat rails hooked to the post. During the flipping to a stop the exposed seat rails stuck into his calf. I was at Finley when my friend that he was riding with called me to come and pick him up. I must have arrived from Finley in my truck about the same time you did. When I got there they were loading him in the ambulance. He still had the seat rails stuck in his calf, emt's cut the post off and he went to the hospital with it still in his calf. Luckily it just did tissue damage and after a couple days in erlanger he was released. It was a terrible looking wound. Matter of fact the picture you posted crossing the narrow bridge over Nickajack has him in it. I'm the first rider you see and he is the one in front of me wearing the clear rain jacket. Good job on pictures and report. That was my first 3/3 and will not be my last. It was awesome.
