Hello all,
Well, I have been racing and preparing for what looked to be my best and most successful season ever, but everything changed last Friday evening. Arouynd 7:30 pm, while on a light training ride, I was hit by a car. I sustained a broken right clavicle, 2 broken right ribs, 3 stitches and a completely trashed bike. I was fortunate that the ambulance response time was very fast, and want to thank all the staff at Hinsdale Hospital's ER for taking great care of me. I'll most likely need surgery and am looking at 12 weeks minimum to recover. So, its one day at a time for me right now, but I am blessed to have great family and friends who are helping me, not to mention a great team at lululemon oakbrook where I work, and truly caring sponsors.
In the meantime, look for me cheering on friends or working sponsors booths at races. I love the sport and everything it has given me. Life is full of setbacks, and this one could have been worse. A huge thank you to Rudy Project, my Actyum helmet saved my life.
Please be careful out there. And make sure you wear your helmet.
Stay strong,
Guy
