Well I finallay got to meet up with "motopete" last night as he joined us for one of our Safety Council Alumni Group Rides. It was good to finally meet Pete and see his amazing bike up close and in person. It's a thing of beauty folks!!
We had an enjoayble group ride and chit chat afterwards and everyone departed for home just after 9:00PM.
This morning I get this PM from Pete's wife:
Hi there, this is Pete's wife. I just thought I would let you know that Pete was in an accident tonight, he hit a deer on the way home, I haven't got many details until I can see a police report but I am deeply thankful for quality gear, he is in pretty good shape all things considered... he has broken both lower bones in his right leg and they will have to operate on them in the morning. He'll be in hospital for a couple of days but apart from that he should clean up okay. Not sure the condition of his ride but the officer said it didn't appear to be in too bad shape. I'll let you know when I know more.
After my heart restarted, I've contacted Colleen to let her know we are thinking of him and I am available to help in any way needed.
As luck has it I'm leaving tonight on a 3 day riding trip so I probably won't be able to check in on him untill I get back.
I'll keep everyone posted as to how he (and his bike) are doing.
