Bad news, my buddy and teammate, Scott Ervin fell today on a ride. Broken collar bone and hand...

Please keep Scott in your prayers.  He fell when his front wheel got caught in an expansion crack in the road at about 20 mph.  Mild concussion, broken collar bone, and broken left hand.  He is a dentist and right handed, so thank God he can still work.

He is getting all the proper testing at Rockwall Presby and I think he is already home on the couch.  Say a prayer for him and his family.  Cycling is a dangerous sport and it could happen to anybody.  I heard someone best describe a bike crash as jumping out of moving car at 20+mph with your underwear on... It hurts! 

We're thinking about you, Scott.   I hope they gave you some killer pain medicine.
