In case you haven't heard, Scott Hodge was in a motorcycle accident Thursday, Oct. 16th. Scott suffered the following injuries from the motorcycle crash: C6 vertebrae fracture, C7 fractured in half but is not separating, C5 is also fractured and causing the most pain but it will heal on its own. Healing time for the fractures is estimated at 3 to 6 months. His lungs are bruised which has made breathing a little difficult, one broken rib and his hip is sore and bruised from hitting the pavement.

If you would like to donate to help Hodge and his family out please visit the Addictive Cycles Website for more information.

We wish Hodge a speedy recovery.

TransUtah

No this is not a new race but yet the amazing travels of Dave Nice. On October 2nd Dave headed out to Moab, UT from Glenwood Springs, CO. Taking with him his Jabberwocky, back pack, and a cooler. Through the travels and tribulations of Dave's adventures we experienced one legged pedaling due to a broke pedal, a few bus rides, an 80 mile ride in to Hurricane, UT and then rode on to Cedar City, UT.


Hitched a ride to SLC Cycles where he caught up with another Vassago rider, Brad Keyes.
A train ride from SLC to Green River. After riding the Jabberwocky from Green River to Moab he arrives ready to race. Congratulations making it through the trek of TransUtah.
