The Ramble
A big shout out to Anita Tygart for
opening her home for our annual
St. Patrick’s Day party.
While a bit of rain kept some from
riding, we gathered at Anita’s to enjoy Irish Stew, soda bread, fruit,
veggies and a large spread of delectable desserts (including pie for pi day.)
The ride over Cecil Ashburn that day
was challenging due to grit and gravel
covered shoulders. They are now
swept clean.

Bike Fest and Mayor’s Bike Ride - May 16
On Saturday May 16 the city of Huntsville will be taking another step towards bicycle
awareness. To begin the day the 5th annual Mayor’s ride will start at 10:30 am in the Big
Spring Park and follow its normal closed route. This has always been an event where people of all ages can bike leisurely and safely through the downtown streets. One of the
SCCC’s goals has been to get a good turnout so the city realizes there are many people
who want to have good cycling conditions. As in the past, volunteers will be asked to have
lead-in rides to the start.
After the Mayor’s ride, Downtown Huntsville, Inc (DTI) will be sponsoring a “Bike Fest”
event on Church Street and Big Spring park from about noon - 3pm. About two thirds of
Church street will be closed between Clinton and Williams (in front of the park and the
Art Museum). DTI, which has put on many previous events in the downtown area, will be
the overseer, but the local bicycle organizations will be organizing the events. This will include the bike shops, SCCC, RCCB, Slow Cycle, SORBA, and others. There will be the usual
food trucks and numerous events. Some of the planned events are bike polo (Bicycles
Etc.), drag races (Bicycle Cove), slow race (SCCC), tire changing timing (Blevins), poker run
to 3 caves (which will be open), kids/adult trike obstacle course and other events for children. This is designed to be a fun day for the whole family with various bicycle related
activities.
Beside these activities Healthy Huntsville will be having their booths and demonstrations,
so there will be a lot of outdoor related activity in the park. Look for upcoming posters
around town for the Mayor’s Bike Ride and Downtown Huntsville’s Bike Fest.

Joyce Kilmer Campout 24 –26 April 2015
The western North Carolina Mountains set the stage from April 24-26 for the following SCCC Event: Joyce Kilmer Camping Weekend
Weekend.. Rattler Ford Group
Campground is located in the Nantahala National Forest, not to far from Robbinsville, North Carolina.
Site #4 at the group camp provides picnic tables, multiple places for tents, restrooms with showers, a fire pit, and it is located next to a mountain stream. The location is ¼ mile south from the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest which is an old
growth forest named in memory of poet Joyce Kilmer (1886 –1918), best known
for his poem "Trees". The camping location near Lake Santeetlah and the Joyce
Kilmer- Slickrock Wilderness allows for road riding, hiking, fishing, canoeing/
kayaking, or just enjoying the great outdoors.
Rattler Ford is easily accessible via Robbinsville, NC or routing yourself through
Chattanooga, TN. The Cherohala Skyway, a National Scenic Byway connecting
Tellico Plains, Tennessee with Robbinsville, North Carolina, rises to over 5400 feet
above sea level and provides beautiful views of the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests.
Dust off your camping gear, plan your food for the weekend, and think about the
beverages you like to enjoy as this part of North Carolina is dry. Everyone is welcome and the SCCC would like to see many club members attend as they evaluate future club financial support of this event.
For more information, please contact Gretchen Everts: [email protected] or
256-426-8209.
Related Note: The Fall Joyce Kilmer camping weekend is scheduled for Friday
October 23 through Sunday October 25, 2015 so please mark your calendars!

A Pleasant Spring Saturday Ride
(The Story of Greg New’s Crash - Part Two)
Monday morning can’t come soon enough, I email my boss and let him know that I won’t be in today
and wait for a call from the clinic to schedule an appointment to see an orthopedic specialist. They finally
call around 9:00 AM and ask me to come in now!
The Dr. looks at the X-rays that I brought from the emergency clinic. He says this is a common injury and
in my case it is not too bad. The bones are displaced and foreshortened (because the broken ends are
overlapping), but it should heal well on its own and he does not recommend surgery. “Come back in
three weeks so I can see how it’s progressing.”
I ask when can I start running and biking again? He says it will take at least 8 to 12 weeks to heal and
that I should keep my arm in a sling for the first two weeks. After that, I should not need the sling fulltime and it might be okay to get on a stationary bike trainer, but no riding and no running for at least a
month. He warns me about the risk falling and reinjuring my bones. Further, he expresses concern about
the potential effects of impacts from running.
For the next two weeks I wore the sling every day and some nights. Sometimes my arm hurt, but mostly
it did not. I struggled with not being able to do things normally, since I could not put any weight on my
arm, and my range of “pain free” motion was limited.
By the 15th day I had a trainer set up in the garage. The first day that I rode it (Day 15), it was a struggle
and I wondered if I was doing more harm that good. I persisted and rode the trainer 5 days in week
three.
On Friday, (Day 21), I went back to see the Dr., first they made two more X-rays at different angles. Right
away I can see that these X-rays look different that the earlier ones. How much of this difference is accounted for by the camera angle, I can’t say, but that is clearly complicating interpretation of the X-rays.
The Dr. comes in looks at the X-rays and says: “The choice is yours, but in my opinion, I think that you
should have surgery.” He adds: “I am going to be out all of next week so I can’t do the surgery and I don’t
want you to put this off until I return the following week.” He he offers to set me up with another Dr. in
his group who will be in next week and can perform the surgery.
Before doing this he says that he wants measure the bone displacement on the X-ray. He leaves the
room and when he comes back in a few minutes he says he measured the horizontal overlap of the two
bone ends at 2 centimeters (Cm). He shows me this on the monitor in the exam room. He tells me that
“according to literature” a break with over 2 Cm of displacement benefits from surgery as it will heal
faster and surgery will correct the anatomy. A break with less that 2 Cm of displacement does not normally require surgery. Since I am on the bubble, my case is borderline. But he is concerned that I will
have pain and muscle weakness in this shoulder, if I do not do have surgery. We have a rather long discussion, during which I point out to the Dr., that “I’m 58 and my body already has a host of minor other
abnormalities.” He also tells me that I also have arthritis in this shoulder, which may ultimately trump
the other issues. No surprises there. The discussion ends with a decision that I will see another Dr. in his
group early next week, who will provide their own opinion on the surgery. He acknowledges that the second Dr. may not recommend surgery.
Cont. on page 13
Page 13
Spring Times
Saturday Spring Ride...Part Two - cont.
When the Dr. leaves the room to set this up, I jump on the computer and conduct my own measurements
using the software right in front of me. I conclude that the horizontal displacement is likely much closer
to 1.5 Cm, and not 2 Cm as the Dr. stated.
Its Friday night and I am in a tizzy, do I follow the Dr.’s recommendations and have the surgery or go
with my gut and forego surgery.
I spent Saturday doing research on various treatment options for a broken collarbone. Wow, I really
screwed up, I should have done this on Day 1. There is a wealth of information available on this subject.
It ranges from complete surgical videos designed as teaching aids for orthopedic surgeons to blogs done
by a random person who probably doesn’t have a clue.
At the end of the weekend I felt confused, with surgery I will have a better end result, but my break is already healing, I don’t want surgery, and it may not be necessary based on the amount displacement of
my collarbone?
On Tuesday before the new Dr. even gets into the exam room, the medical assistant drops a bombshell,
this Dr. is taking off the rest of the week and he won’t be doing any surgery this week either. Why am I
here, I already know how this is gong to come out, I consider walking out right then, but I hold out because I want to hear this Dr.’s opinion on my need for surgery when he looks at the X-rays.
The Dr. comes in looks at the X-rays, asks me how it is going, how much pain do I have, etc. Then we get
down to business, he says my displacement is about 1 Cm, he shows me this on the screen and he holds
his hand out with his fingers separated by about 5/8 of an inch to illustrate and says this is what you
have about 1 Cm of displacement. Then he says that 1 Cm of horizontal displacement is the decision
point for surgery or not. Since I am on the borderline, surgery is optional. I am in a quandary, I can clearly
see that his fingers are more than 1 Cm apart as is the displacement of the bones shown on the monitor.
Is he that clueless, or does he think that I am? I am also certain from my research that the decision point
is more typically 2 Cm. Do I want to point these things out to him, or wait and see where this goes? I decide to feign ignorance and see where the discussion goes.
We have a discussion, for me surgery is optional, he does not believe that it is necessary nor does he specifically recommend it. If I were to choose the surgery it will correct my anatomy, and my shoulder may
be stronger in the long term. On the other hand, I am 58 years young, and probably won’t be embarking
on a new career that involves heavy physical labor for the next 40 years. He acknowledges that I seem to
have significant shoulder joint arthritis as well.
I decide that I am definitely not going to have surgery. I ask the Dr. “When can I start running and biking
again?” He replies that I can do anything that I want starting right now (today), but cautions me don’t do
anything that hurts. “If it hurts don’t do it.” Pretty simple huh.
When I got home I ran 2.5 miles, it was slow but it felt good to be moving again. I only have 11 days to
prepare for a half marathon that I signed up for months ago.
