We had a good turnout at the Fillmore Starbucks and after our pre-ride talk we made our way to San Francisquito Canyon and then right on Spunky Canyon.  On Spunky one of our riders went down on a tight right turn that gets even tighter and thankfully there was no oncoming traffic when the rider slid across the road.  After assessing the situation it was decided that Roy, George and Kitty Robinson and John and June Muller would follow the injured rider and bike back to their home while the rest of the group would continue their way to Wrightwood.  The next day the rider went to the hospital and had their lacerated liver and other issues taken care of.  I and the injured rider want to thank everyone on the ride for coming to this persons aide and helping out. Thank you.

The rest of the group continued on to Wrightwood for lunch outdoors in sunny mild 58 temps.  Richard Sweet dropped back on Mt Emma Rd after waving off the sweeper to get some fuel. We knew he was concerned about enough fuel to Wrightwood (we did the math later and doubtful he would have made it). The ride with 5 was at a nice pace as George Crespo led the rest of the day. Richard continued on to Wrightwood with a full tank of gas and had a good lunch while the rest of the group wrapped up their day by returning to the Fillmore 'Bucks to yak awhile and trade teases and barbs.
Riders today were George Robinson and Kitty, John and June Muller, George Crespo, Richard Sweet, Bill Muneio, Bill Cobb, Jeff Lardner, Denise Hill and Roy.
