My nephew had an accident with the bike I gave him. He ran broadside into a jeep. The front wheel came off and hit him in the face! He was not seriously injured, but he did get a bloody nose, a sore shoulder, and a few scrapes. He has a new trophy now! The bent rim from the wreck. A guy at the bike shop said it would make a nice display at the art gallery! My neph has it hanging on his wall now. Its pretty neat to look at. He's showing me where the wheel hit him in this picture. He said that he was riding it all over the place before the accident. He's putting a new rim on his bike, and it should be like new. I'm so thankful he did not get hurt worse!

I rode to Church today. Its was hot and humid when I left, but I got caught in a thunderstorm on the way home. It was awesome and it scared me a little. I was hoping I could get home before it hit, but I didn't make it. I could see the front approaching, and I prayed to God to keep me safe. Then I took shelter under a bridge. I decided to take the plunge into the wind and rain to get home. It was cold and wet. It was great! I gave my Trek away to my nephew yesterday, and I think he will like it.
