[ORRando] Rider down.

OMG. I know exactly what s-curve you are talking about - it almost took me out the first time I encountered it. Do you have hospital contact info (room or phone number), in case Josh does wnat visitors (or cards)? 

My thoughts are with Josh and Britt - sending healing vibes his way.

So I just got back from the hospital and visiting with Joshua Bryant 
(recent 600k organizer) who had a horrific crash yesterday. He's got 
an impressive list of injuries right now that are gonna take time to 
heal. In time he'll be back on the bike. Hopefully folks can keep 
Joshua in their thoughts. He should be out of the hospital by the 
weekend. 

We had opted out of Marcello's 200k yesterday in order to do a big 
ride up Mt Hood and over to Timothy Lake and back 224. People familiar 
with Marmot Rd and the "Little Switzerland" ride might be familiar 
with the spot in the road that took him out. It's a fast little off- 
camber S curve that spills you out into a valley. Joshua was flying 
and just had a bit too much speed, hit the guard rail and ejected from 
the bike. I'll spare you the details other than it was horrific to 
witness and an extremely stressful waiting for Clackamas FD. 

Anyway, I went and saw him and hung out for a while. He and Brit (his 
wife) are doing as well as you can do 24hrs after something like this. 
I'm not sure if he wants visitors or what would help him right now but 
it wouldn't surprise me if Joshua chimed in here a little later today. 

Again, keep Joshua and Brit in your thoughts.
