After the lightening stopped we set out again. Everyone was pretty tired of the hours of rain and hail. Going around a curve to get on the highway, Greg hit the wet paint and went down, catching his leg under his bike. The bike was fine. Greg tried valiantly to ride again, but the pain was too great and we had to call for assistance. Here is Greg icing and elevating his leg while we wait for our rescuers. The rest of the group rode back to Grand Lake, and I waited with Greg. In about an hour Skid, Slammer and Sherm arrived in my rental car and Skid rode the bike back to the motel and the rest of us went by car. It was still raining, it was dark by then, and the pass we had to go over was high and twisty. Skid did a great job. It was the VROC family in action. After resting his leg until Sunday, Greg and Al took off for the rest of their trip. I look forward to hearing how Greg is doing.

I read that Greg actually bruised his ankle, but broke the smaller bone in his leg. OUCH!!!!
