Sadly, I have joined the hit and run club

That is a bummer, Tom! Unfortunately, I joined this club last Wednesday as well - with an eerily similar incident on Naito/Davis (the lady was even driving a white 4 door sedan).

Heal up quick. I hope your experience with LEO is more fruitful than mine have been over the past year.

I was hit Saturday morning by a white 4 door sedan in Tigard on Gaarde and
114th. They turned right into me, I tried to hang on and ride it out but my
momentum carried me right down the side of the car and off the back. After
stopping for a few seconds, they sped off down 114th. Sadly, we did not get
a license plate or a good ID on the car. Police report was filed, had 4
patrol cars show up and look for the offender but I have not heard anything
yet.

I was very fortunate and only suffered a dislocated left shoulder (and a
very nice contusion on my left butt cheek). So much for the season pass at
Blind Date at the Dairy and Cross Crusade I just purchased. In hopes of
salvaging some of the race season, does anyone have recommendations for a
good orthopedist? I know there must be others out there that have had
similar injuries and rehab success.

Just hoping to put this behind me and start getting ready for the November
races. Looks like the trainer will be my friend for a while. Feel free to
contact off list - if others want details I can share

Thanks, Tom Bird
