Ed, everybody was either in crash mode or avoiding-crash mode to even think about the plate number. I saw the jerk coming in my trusty ole mirror, and alerted the group that we were about to be passed, all the while seeing oncoming traffic (two vehicles). Biggy was at the front, soft pedaled and hugged the edge of the pavement to avoid being hit by said ahole who swerved back over in our lane to miss the oncoming traffic. Kathy was behind Bob and got in his wheel, instantly her, Grey, Kim and Jackie were sprawling across the lane. I was well enough off the back to avoid Jackie, either jump over her or head into the left lane. The very polite and alert drivers of the oncoming vehicles had enough awareness to go off the shoulder to allow me to come into their lane and not have to attempt to jump Jackie - or there would have been five down. This all happened just about at the county line on Carpenter Pond/Old Creedmoor (no, we had no intentions of sprinting, just enjoyng another recovery ride). The vehicle was burgundy or deep red, an SUV, and either an Expedition or Suburban. Very, very nice folks in the oncoming vehicles, one driver made the 911 call and the other couple stayed the whole time until we were all on our way, by ambulance, truck and bike. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2010 3:24 PM Subject: Re: [Gyros: 16986] Sunday Recovery Ride Scorecard

Sunday in hell! Heal fast, all those that went down. Share the road. -- You received this message because you subscribed to the Gyro email group.
