Riders Down
Yesterday on the Saturday Electric Turtle ride (Huntington Beach to Irvine and back) Marty Frankel and Any Chan took a spill while descending a winding path at Turtle Rock in Irvine yesterday (4/29/23).
As described by Maria Vanglider; Marty and Amy slid on a wet spot on a smooth concrete bike path. After the crash he walked it off and insisted on getting back on his bike. He rode a couple miles to the lunch stop before ending for the day. Amy is fine. She landed in the grass.
The following is a report from Neil Brans from the ROC club: Marty crashed yesterday while riding with the Foothill Club. He broke his hip and has some road rash. I talked to him last night and he was in pretty good spirits.
Neil's update from this morning: Just talked with Marty. He is still in the hospital and will find out tomorrow if he needs surgery. They think he may be able to just heal on his own without surgery. His attitude is very positive. He welcomes visitors and is at the Kaiser hospital at Sunset and Vermont, room 2991.
If you would like to send him a message, Marty's email address is martinfrankel@att.net.
I'll send you additional updates as it becomes available.
