It was me, Brian, Tim and his two friends (Chris and Chris) on this ride. It started out great - leaving the lot a bit before 8 am. We hit the Scoville twisities and then headed down into Session Woods. Crossed E. Chippens and then hit "B" street. MR. evil took a nice OTB taking the impact with his wrist and shoulder on a tree. Shook it off quickly.
We then headed around the southern end of Sessions and started to head back. About 3/4 of the way into this stretch, Chris and Chris took the lead. The first Chris cleared a techy rock drop that I normally walk down. Chris #2 hesitated a bit and OTB'd taking the impact to his arm and chest onto a rock. He yelled out and was visibly in a lot of pain. We all thought broken ribs as he was having trouble breathing. The other Chris and I rode out to the lot to get their car as the others walked out and we met them on E. Chippens. They split to hit a hospital in Mass closer to their home. Keep us posted on how he's doing, Tim.
Well, that was a major bummer. Brian and I decided to finish out the ride taking the northern loop up the ridge, across Cornwall and then 69 and paralleled 69 back.
A great ride, but the injury sucked. I'll upload a track later.
