No really he had a minor incident in the corner that JT made famous on this ride last year. I guess after talking with one of Evans friends we were not the first to fall off in this corner and it happens with some regularity. I was leading, we were going into the corner a bit hot and I braked hard, Evan followed suit but as he was leaned into the first 3rd of the corner he got off throttle and that loaded the front end of the bike causing the front tire to slide out from under him. His bike went about 50 feet or so and he went just shy of that. No major injuries to speak of, our gear is what protects us and it did it's job.
This is the corner in question, we are looking back from where Evan and the bike ended up. The marks on the road are from his bike.
Made a few holes in the gear but it saved his skin for sure. All he had for injuries was a quarter size burn on the knee and a dime sized burn on the shoulder. Nothing Bad. We were back up and riding in 30 minutes or so.
We made some repairs and inspected the bike, and determined it safe to ride after Evan took it down the street to make sure everything was working properly.
Zip Ties are our friends for sure...
