Detour: St. Patrick's Hospital

After visiting the American Cycling Association on Monday morning we headed North East towards Glacier. About 20 miles in Matt hit a snag in the form of an SUV moving at highway speed.

Although very scary, Matt's high spirits maintained and suffered only a tib-fib fracture and ankle dislocation. His bike took the brunt of the impact. We're hanging out in Missoula for a few days until Batman comes out. At that point Matt will head back to California, Gabriel will be back in Virginia and Lorenzo and Ryland will be somewhere else, yet to be determined.

All is as well as can be for the situation at hand. Matt's healing up and the folks at ACA have been extremely helpful and kind.

PortlandCruz lives on.
