bad day on the tandem ....

Hello, 15 miles into our 11th annual 5 couple 3 day ride we blew coming out of a turn at the bottom of a hill. It acted like we lost it on gravel , but the tire was flat and the tube had a hole in it. I had no time to warn my wife and she hit the pavement with her shoulder and head. Her helmet(smashed) saved her head , but both the clavical and scapula are broken. Now she is at Mayo in Rochester and we are waiting to see what the surgeons plan to do. I got off with just some knee pain and loss of skin on my arms and legs. Though maybe not a major tradedy , something like this makes you see how vulnerable and fragile we are and to see the things in life that are really important.
To those bikers out there be careful and ALWAYS wear your helmet. bj
