BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

Ooh bump. I'll be here I think. I'm fighting off a cold, but I really want to ride. I think I'm past the incubation period so I hopefully won't get any of you sick.

im out. i havent even made it home to sleep yet. I'm on day 3 of a get shit done ultra marathon and im pretty sure riding in the woods would just be me crashing into shit over and over at this point. see you guys tomorrow at the keg ride (if @bikeygirl remembers to email me! COUGH COUGH)

bikeygirl emailed me, maybe she just doesn't like you. ;) On a more somber note, I did a pre-ride ride and came upon an older gentleman who had a mishap on the last bridge on Iron G(r)ate. He was unresponsive when I got there, but still had a pulse. Another rider and I got the first responders there within 10 minutes, and the paramedics were there shortly thereafter. After 10 minutes of CPR, the said they got his pulse back a little stronger, but he was still unresponsive. His official status is critical. If anyone has more information (not sure of his name, he was an older gentleman with a Dirty Harry's jersey, on a red full suspension XC Gary Fisher, 2007-vintage I'd say), please please let us know.

i reposted all over facebook and on the porc forum. ill let you know if i hear anything.

Hoping the rider is okay.

Any more discriptive info? Like height and build? Beard/shaved?

Please let us know more if you can. I have a couple of friends that are older that ride with Dirty Harry's and you have me worried. Did he have a ponytail?

Judging by the size of his bike (M/L), probably 5'8 - 5'10 180 lbs, not skinny but not lumbering fat either. He doesn't have a ponytail from what I remember, probably in his late 50s/early 60s. No beard from what I remember. I honestly remember more about his bike since I can identify things on it, he was riding clipless, grey Reba front fork, Maxxis rubber, ZTR Crest wheels iirc. Rotors looked like they were Avids. Had a saddle bag, an orange Camelbak, and a knee brace/pad. Helmet was a white or light grey Lazer. He rode with a newer Garmin Edge (probably 800) and chest HRM strap.
