Greetings from Bend, OR

No pictures today. Just a report about why there are no pictures.

Well... It seems we've started a streak of bad endings to an otherwise wonderful summer holiday. Remember last year: We got towed 150 miles from Ketchum to Boise and were stuck there for three days - blah, blah, blah. That was actually funny, when we look back on it.

This story certainly isn't funny. Anyway, Brian was mountain biking, doing reconnaissance for racing the High Cascade 100. He was climbing a steep and very loose section when his rear wheel washed out and he toppled over to his left. He reached out to break the fall and put his hand down on an uneven rock... and snap! Wrist broken.

The good news is that no surgery is required. The bad news is he's in a cast for at 6-8 weeks.

He was in a lot of pain and had to lay low for a couple of days. But since he got the cast, he's feeling much better. We're planning to go for a little hike today and see how that goes. If it goes well, you'll see more pictures.
