	I was out there on Sunday but now one knew anything. I saw the story on the news. Anyone know where it happened on the thread trail? Clearly is was further out and not on WWC property because they rescued him from the elementary school parking lot. Thread is relatively flat and straight forward out t that way. Must have been a weird accident or other issue. Hope the guy is ok.

	Rode there yesterday morn. Hope the guy is ok. Isn't the elementary school behind Academy loop? I remember seeing it on the last 3rd of the loop in the backdrop. I can see someone taking a bad spill on that one.....def a few head's up spots if you aren't paying attention.

	Not sure how so many news outlets messed up this story. Some are still reporting a cyclist with a serious injury.

	It's the media. Should be a given they would mess it up.
