Racers, Officials, and others,
I wanted to thank those who stopped to help with Jim Henry's accident. I
talked with Jim later that evening (Sat) and he too wanted to say thanks to
all of you who came to his aid. Of course he was a little bummed that he
messed with our race but as I reminded him he kept us from having to sprint
up that hill for the finish! He was also asking me if I wanted to go up to
Tuesday's PIR! That's Jim for you. The EMT's cut up at least two of his
jersey's getting the neck collar on him before they transported him, so I'm
sure he would appreciate any financial help we all could give him. Unless
he just purchased it, he may have also been riding a borrowed bike. He
recently broke his own frame. But I'll find out the skinny on the bike. I
don't know the farmers name but we had a guy who came out with blankets and
coats for those of us who stayed until the EMT's took over so if anyone
knows his name or rides out in that area you might let him know how much he
was appreciated.
Once again thanks for stopping, your concern, and your offers of assistance.
