The past couple days have been really hard both mentally and physically. Yesterday we rode from Mass. back into Connecticut, 68 miles. It was a hard day full of hills and muscle pains and many many wrong directions. There were a few great stops tho and beautiful sites. But unfortunately there was a bad spill on one of the hills. Derrick fell going down a hill about 45 mph. The hills are really steep so riders get going fast even if you're not pedaling and breaking occasionally. So he got taken to the hospital after laying down for about 6 hours and it turns out he broke his pelvic bone. He was amazingly strong and stoic the whole time, no one would have ever known how much pain this kid was in. he cant continue with us and sitting here in NY we miss him already! Heal derrick and come back and conquer these hills next summer, we are all thinking of you!
