With Sherry's permission, Al and I went over to see Chuck in the hospital and I must say he looks really good, considering what happened. His color was great, and he was smiling and upbeat. I know all the riding he does is standing him in good stead and I'll bet he is going to have an amazing recovery here.
Of course (looking for classic content) I asked him what bike he was riding... it was his Rivendell. But according to Sherry there was *only* a top tube dent!!!?? Leave it to a true collector to sacrifice his body and save the bike!
Hope to see/meet many of you in a coupla weeks out here.
