March 11th, FWBA Let's go see Lillian
Mar 11th, 2007, 2:33pm
 
It was a small turnout by FWBA standards, with 20 - 25 riders. It was another beautiful morning, 62 degrees at ride time, with a light southwest wind that became more brisk as the ride progressed. This is a good route which I'd like to ride again, mostly flat, but with a few small hills. It starts and ends on Kelly Elliot road, and follows the SH287 service road for a ways, but most of it is on quiet rural roads south of Arlington. I ended up with 51.0 miles, and a 15.9 mph average.

Well, I guess I missed the excitement on this ride.  Kevin (I don't remember his last name) and I dropped everyone else on the return loop from Lillian, and I left in my truck without seeing anyone else after the ride. It turns out that 10 miles from the end, Bill Skau stuck his wheel in a pavement seam, crashed, and broke his neck. He is not paralyzed, and is in John Petersmith hospital, but that's about all I know at this point.
