OBRA-heads, especially those that remember when USCF was ABL! ::::



Russell Morton, I read recently in Oregon Cycling, had a serious bike

accident. I contacted him, and indeed, he had a doozy of a wreck; he had

inched out onto a blind street only to have a van zoom into him, carrying

him between tire and fender a small ways down the street. He did not walk

away from it, but he IS able to ride these days, so that's a blessing. I'm

not sure of the date of the accident, but he has some corrective surgery

coming up in August.



I'm sure he'd like to hear from you, especially from his old friends. I

think he only gets email at work:

Russell has been an important part of Oregon cycling for a long time, as a

writer AND racer (he used to go on these really l-o-n-g solo breakaways!!)

Send him some good vibes.
