A Horrible Reminder

Here's an unexpected post from a very experienced rider whose sense of adventure I've long admired. His accident took place on the Gold Creek trail on the Olympic Peninsula, one of my absolute favorite trails and serves as a good reminder to me, and to all of us, exactly how dangerous this sport can be. We all know to be careful, especially when riding alone, but freak accidents happen. I'm sure Gearz thought he was "being careful" too when he went down, but the crash still happened.
