The Goat is Down

A sad day today for anyone who rides with or know the Gears 4 Beers group. John "The Goat" Anast took a tumble at the tracks on Camargo in Madeira. These tracks are famous for taking down cyclist due to their severe angle across the road. The result of the accident is a broken collarbone on the left side. This comes after Goat had hernia surgery earlier in the year and another accident a few weeks back. We may have to install some training wheels on Goat's bikes.

Many years ago Dale Eads wrecked on the same tracks and went down right in front of a car. The car, driven by a little old lady on her way to church, ran over Dale's ankle, breaking it. The best part of it all was that the lady didn't think she should have to wait around after the accident for the ambulance and to exchange insurance details.
