    Anyone know Michael Kim? He had a bad crash Sunday near Elsinore and got air vac'd out. Two broken ribs and a broken femur. I don't know the trail, but I do know there's plenty of built up and gnar trails out there.

    …as the Murrieta Path so eloquently put it "A man pedaling on his mountain bicycle crashed on a remote Wildomar trail and was lifted to safety by a helicopter crew".
    > Man Rescued by Helicopter in Wildomar

    Michael posted on his FB page that he'll be out for 2 months, which I think is pretty dern quick for a broken femur.

    Got there just as the chopper was bailing. Didn't know it was mike that got injured at that time. Healing vibes to the dude, he just got over another serious injury recently.

    Saw Mike's blast on FB, such a bummer!! Chatted with him via text yesterday a couple times - he's already had surgery, now just needs to get up and put some weight on it. FYI - He is "cableguy" here on STR.. Heal up my friend :)
