Carl's Biking Accident

So, Carl has been training to do a triathalon in September, so he has been riding his bike a lot. He rides with a bunch of different people, and on Monday, July 5th they decided to go for a 50 mile ride. James and Ana were up here with us, so Carl & James had been planning this big ride for a couple weeks. They woke up at 6am and left for the ride. Around 7:30am my phone rang, and I knew something was wrong. I answered, and it was Curtis telling me that Carl had wrecked. He was drafting behind James and got a little too close and his front tire caught James back tire. They were going about 26 miles an hour when he wrecked. His left side got pretty banged up! I went and picked him up at Sand Hollow, and we went to the instacare to get him checked out! He had to get a couple stitches in his elbow, and then just get the rest cleaned. We were at the instacare from 8:30am to about noon!!! It was a great thing that James and Ana were here, because they were able to be with our kids! (Carl is showing a lot of "skin" in these pics!)




All cleaned up!!


Poor Guy!
