Sorry to hear about another rider going down and almost checking out for good.
Things to think about when you twist the throttle.
How far away from a trauma center am I?
Is there cell phone coverage in the area?
Do the other riders know my ICE info?
If I am the sweep rider and go off the road, will anyone know?
Sweep rider should be taking it easy.
Communications between the riders, especially lead and sweep adds safety to your ride.
If you go out alone, always tell someone your route, and estimated time to return home.
Just a few thoughts to ponder.
God's speed to the down rider.
All be safe, ride smart.
