[quote="marco"] Boulder's Tim Egan, out training for Colorado's famed Triple Bypass bike race with his nephew, collided with a black bear on a steep, hilly road yesterday. The 45-mile-per-hour impact smashed him into the pavement and sent him to the hospital with cracked ribs, facial lacerations, and an unbeatable post-ride-beer-drinking story.


And how did Egan himself fare in the crash?

This was not an accident. It was a carefully planned theft ...

I am soooo glad I didn't see this story before by recent holiday.
I was doing 40+ mph down lots of those roads. :shock:
