Summer/Fall Update

Summer/Fall 2019 Update

---

From the living Room Recliner

I don't often have the large amounts of free time or at least the kind that has recently confined me to the living room recliner. For those of you who follow IRR closely, We thought it would be a good time to update everyone on what has been developing in our lives personally, on the Backcountry Adventure scene, and with the Redeemed Adventure Project. 

First on a Personal Level

You may think that we have been a little MIA. Our season started much later due to a long Winter and a late Spring. Snow packs were deep and hung around for a long time, getting us off to a late start. This delay along with recent events have on the other hand, allowed us to begin updating our website, its templates, and brings some uniformity to the way we do things as we develop the site.

On June 4th, I was in Blue River, Oregon helping frame a cabin that will be used as a place for pastors and their wives to go and be refreshed and refocus. While lifting one of the heavy exterior walls I completely tore my left bicep and it wadded up into my armpit. That started the slowing process but not until we got most of the building framed and the sub-siding on.

A Little Accident

The next thing to slow us down was a little accident that happened on day two of our Cascade Ride. While traveling through Mohawk, OR on the way to Sweet Home, a beverage truck pulled across my lane from the center divider. I could not stop in time and collided into the side of the trailer. It all happened so fast but I survived the crash and with a little bit of cosmetic damage to the bike, bruised ribs, a bruised sternum, and severely sprained wrist. Thanks to the help of Jeff works and Wheat Mahoney, I was able to ride over to an Urgent Care facility and then on to Blue River, Oregon to recuperate just long enough to take care of all of the Insurance rhetoric and direct the guys as they finished the tour. We gathered back up on day 6 of the tour for some great over night lodging and headed out Saturday for the last 2 days of the trip. We split up so I could head home with the bike in tow and the fella's headed to Crescent Lake.

About BXR's
