Hey, Eric Bruntjen calling from Union Pass at the Sawmill Lodge. Got into quite a bit of trouble yesterday on that Forest Road 515, hike-a-bike. Sprained my ankle really bad and had to stop here last night. I was pretty sure last night that I wasn’t going to be able to go any further, but this morning I’m in my biking clothes, getting ready to head out. I’m in a lot of pain, don’t really know what the future holds. It’s really frustrating to injure yourself walking in a bike race, but that road was awful. Just sticky mud. You couldn’t even push your bike through it; I had to carry mine. I know a lot of guys took the road, which is the official route; I know some guys actually went around it, too. That just makes it even worse; they took the highway. Like I said, not sure what’s going on. Try and make it as far as I can today.

Hi Eric,
WOW I can't believe how far you have gone We are so proud of you. Jim and I just got back
last night we were gone from the 18th - 22nd the first thing we did was see how you were
doing. Sorry to hear about you ankle but before we went to bed we checked to see how far
you were able to go again WOW! You don't let anything get you down. GOOD LUCK GUY

I'm sure that if you broke
I'm sure that if you broke both your legs you'd find a way to keep going by rigging your bike so you can pedal with your arms. Your perserverance is very admirable. Keep going !!!
