Hey everyone,
I just learned that Glenn on our team was hit by a driver a week or two ago. I don’t know the details, but not so serious that he won’t be able to ride again in the next week or so. That’s all I know. I learned this from our Strava team discussion board.

Additional details:

So I was hit by a car while riding back from a meeting Sunday [2/14] afternoon. I’m pretty much ok, nothing broken – except my bike – but I have a couple bad contusions on my left thigh and I also whacked my arm pretty hard when I hit the pavement. Already feeling much better then I did late Sunday but I am still really stiff on the left side and will be out of the office on Tuesday [2/16].

…

My arm is much better but my leg is still pretty sore and stiff. But even there the contusion on the thigh is looking better and I am able to sit in a chair ok today [2/17] where yesterday I still pretty much had to keep my leg straight.

the road [bike] has a broken seat stay. and the rear wheel is completely trashed. not sure about the power meter yet, will probably need that to be checked out by the bike shop. Same thing with the front wheel

And my jacket, bib tights, two layers of shoe covers and the buckle on my left shoe are also trashed

he [the driver] tried to pass me on the left while I was making a left turn

the place he passed had no shoulder on the road so I was in the single travel lane and had been singling for a couple hundred meters.

err sign[a]ling that is

Good news is the bike shop has the replacement frame for my primary CX bike and has started to build that. Bad news is I won’t be able to do the race I was supposed to on Sunday [2/21]

Glenn,

So sorry to hear this. Hope you heal up and come back strong! Get well soon!!

Hey team,

I think we are the most likely team to win the “Pullling Together” prize, for having everyone chipping in most equally.

Our last place rider had more points than the last place rider on every other team.

Our first place rider had fewer points than the first place rider on every other team, save one.
We also came in second place in number of days ridden by team

If that’s not “Pulling Together,” I don’t know what is. Way to go, XX!!!!

Sorry, Team XX. Based on how uniformly strong you were as a team, I also thought that you were going to win the “Pulling Together” prize. But after crunching the numbers, it turns out that the members of Team 1 had the lowest standard deviation among their scores.

If it’s any consolation, you were very close to Team 1 — and both you and Team 1 blew all the other teams out of the water on this metric. Congrats on the strong team effort for FS2016.
