I ran into my friend Dave yesterday.

2011-01-06T17:55:00.003-07:00

Not literally but I may as well have, considering how he was grimacing and holding his arm. Here's the story in his own words. Get well soon Dave; glad you're vertical.-P77

Accident:

The day after finals I was riding my bike into work. Not real fast, probably between 12 and 15 mph. The sleeve of my jacket was hanging over my handle bars when I sat up to adjust my hood or something. Snapped the bars (and the bike followed) to the right and I continued forward. Tried to tuck and roll and got a tuck and stick instead. Landed square on my head and right shoulder. No helmet. Heard a very loud crack and immediately thought 'oh shiiiii, imma dead. my head just cracked open'. Only took about 5 seconds to realize it was my collarbone that exploded, not my skull. The pain was far enough off that I was able to call one of my coworkers for a ride to the hospital.

Before they showed up an off duty fireman walked by and called the ambulance. Thank god, because by the time both showed up there was NO WAY in hell I was standing up on my own and getting in that car. The EMT's had to give me 2 morphine shots over the course of the 1.5 mile ride just to get me to stop screaming at them. Once at the hospital, into xrays I went. Collarbone broken in a few places, broken rib, punctured lung. The lung was already starting to collapse and they didn't have a trauma surgeon there who could deal with it. Hung out for a couple hours there while waiting for the other hospital to come pick me up. Soon as we showed up at the new place, back to imaging central. Bunch of xrays and some ct scans and back to waiting in the ER. Seemed like about 10 minutes later about 5 people came storming in and said it was time to get into surgery now. My lung had collapsed considerably and needed a drain tube so it didn't rest on my heart and make me go into cardiac arrest!!

Needless to say, I was a little shocked. So off to trauma surgery. Worst pain I have ever experienced, by far. I was so fucking loaded on things stronger than morphine it wasn't even funny. My girl said they told her I was getting meds that would make me forget the experience. Whatever that was, it didn't fucking work. They kept asking me where I was on the pain scale (1-10). I was at a loud and clear 9. So intense. I told the doctor after that he was lucky it didn't hit 10 because I would've stood up on the table and put my thumbs in his eyes. Once that ordeal was done, they planted me in a room. Stayed there for the next 8 days. The first tube stopped working so they decided to put a second one in. This would be a more precise kinda thing though. It was kinda crazy. They did the op IN the cat scan. Kept moving me in and out to make sure it was all in the right place and what not. I felt next to nothing on that one. Dickhead orderly putting me back on the gurney to go back to my room LIFTED ME UP BY MY BROKEN SHOULDER though. I was screaming at him and he didn't stop. Fucker. More on that later.

The next awesome thing that happened was that once I finally got back to my bed, my nurse for that period of time turned out to be completely worthless. The last thing I really remember is her trying to READ THE FUCKING INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO HOOK UP MY CHEST TUBE. I remember her getting flustered and walking out. That was the last time I saw her. At the shift change 4 hours later, the next nurse walked in on me with no chest tube hooked up, AND NO OXYGEN HOOKED UP. You know, the two things that were supposed to be keeping my lung inflated. I was barely conscious and my extremities were numb. Apparently these are all symptoms of heading directly for a full blown coma. Body reserving energy for only the most vital of functions. So that was kind of a bad day. The next day though, I was feeling a little better and drifting off into a little nap. All of a sudden I snapped awake by what I thought was somebody hitting me in the face with a baseball bat and my entire shoulder getting extremely tight and painful. I was getting xrays every morning to keep tabs on the lungs. Most of them would also catch the collarbone. The first few showed a relatively straight bone with a couple fractures. All of a sudden, it looked like the attached picture.

Anyway, after a few more days, they pulled the second tube and let me out. I was free for a few days then went into the orthopedic surgeons office to get checked out and see if I was in need of surgery (because he hadn't seen any xrays since it all looked pretty straight). It took him about 3 seconds to decide I needed a plate and asked if I was busy the next morning. It was supposed to be an outpatient procedure but the nerve block they put in my neck to shut my shoulder off caught my diaphragm also and my lungs weren't strong enough to get me enough oxygen on my own so I had to spend another night in the hospital. Start physical therapy on Friday. We'll see how that goes.

So there you have it. I've crashed a hundred times harder and walked away unscathed. Many times. Apparently, life can be precious. Talk with you soon.

H6 ALLEYCAT BIKE RACE

Saturday October 30, 2010

Veteran's Park Pavilion

Point based system, MUST HAVE DIGITAL CAMERA (OR PHONE WITH CAMERA) to document your point tally.
Finish is 9PM at the Dutch Goose, *points reduction for late arrivals.
Must enter in teams of TWO, entry fee is $20 per team.
Participants must be 18 or older.

Might be wise to bring charger and/or batteries for your camera, you have a

4-hour window to accrue as many points as possible, you don't wanna reach the finish and have no proof of all the stops your team hit.

Race goes off rain or shine, put lights on your bike. Get stoked.

Let the good times roll,

Thee WBC.

Hellracer 666

2010-09-27T14:16:00.002-06:00

Heckracer will be happening this year, so get ready.

A few key points-

1. This will be a two person team event. (so find a friend, unless you are a two-headed monster.)

2. At least one of the teammates must have a camera phone or smart phone.

3. Teams will be racing for a set time e.g. 5pm-9pm. You will be overloaded with things to do, whichever team gets the most done (points) wins. During said time you can do whatever you want. (go home and nap, go to a bar, get on facebook, or work on your manifest.)

Time, entry fee, and a few other things are still undecided, so check back here for updates.

Let me know if y'all have any questions/comments/ideas/problems.

love, a41

I put this up on the scugliafab blog but figured y'all might like to see this too.

Last week I took the Metro to Levallois Perret to visit Alex Singer Cycles just outside the peripherique of Paris. They've been building bikes for three generations since 1936. From what I understand the shop employs the builder, Olivier Sucain, and one young apprentice. Olivier is the son of builder Ernest Sucain who acquired the business from his uncle in 1964. Sorry about the quality of these photos. They were taken with my iPhone.

Sorry George.

A large round of applause to Thee WBC, The Dutch Goose, Test Tube Kitty, Boise City Green Belt System, Prestige Skateboards, The Boise Bicycle Project and you: the fine citizens of our fair city. Our 5th annual Liverdance Alleycat was fast, furious and as always, super fun. In the absence of C43 (he's currently studying contemporary miming in France and couldn't be with us) I was relegated to being the loud one. With that, I apologize for such an anticlimactic finish to such a great afternoon. I don't particularly care for any more than two people looking at me much less standing in front of a throbbing throng of sweating cyclists and having to speak out loud. I'm sure my kudos to the 60 year-old Mom that raced (and finished) were drowned out by tequila-swilling rowdiness so I want to congratulate her again. I forgot her name but she's in one of the pics down there, smiling and stoked. We had 67 racers and most of you finished, I noticed that Triton came in 19th and then again at 32nd. Good job aaand... good job. "Drank at all the stops" placed 41-44, forever securing a place in my heart as true champions. Top Three Women were: 3. Mary Ann, 2. Alex and 1. Captain Fran, way to go ladies. Dudes and top finishers all came in right around an hour: 3. Ian, 2. Manbaby, 1. Mooch. Nice work lads. I wish I had more/better pictures from the cereal killing. I noticed that Mooch ate his Lucky Charms by hand then guzzled the milk, maybe that was the difference maker. Anyway, thanks again for being so cool and I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Chris we missed you but the boys stepped right up and pulled off another great WBC production (oh yeah, and The Iceman says "heyn"). Thanks Warlocks.

*Must bring a small carton of milk

We're running this one bare bones- everyone is broke and swag donations were almost nil so we won't have much for prizes (this is about riding bikes and drinking beers with yer buddies, anyway). The finish line is smoke-free and kid friendly so bring the wee ones. And don't forget to bring some milk- 2%, soy, whatever.

Should be a pip, hope we see ya there.

Your friends and foes,

THEE WARLOCKS BICYCLE CLUB OF BOISE, IDAHO.

Get milk.

2010-03-07T11:37:00.002-07:00

Yes, you need to bring a little carton of milk to the start. Soy, 2%, chocolate whatever, bring it. A few bucks in folding money will be necessary for some of the race stops, too.

This event is 21+, sorry young guns. We call it Liverdance for a reason. Consider yourself warned. These revolutions will not be televised. Get milk. -P77/WBC Boise

A welcome fit for a Warlock! Eddy met me at the airport. The Metro. The Velib is the city's public bike system. A success despite random vandalism. The fine folks at 'Cyclope' have made me feel right at home. This shop is a short walk from the apartment. They have this endless stock of French and European track bikes and carry just all kinds of cool shit! Once I get my wheels put together I'll be riding this thing around Paris and BEYOND!
