ok now finally all the signs add up..... no matter how safe and cautious one rides "SHIT" happens
last sunday myself along with 5 fellow riders were enjoying a beautiful day of riding up hwy9 to boulder creek then back up big basin way to skyline blvd our pace was moderate not exceeding 5-10mph over speedlimit. We took 35 northbound up toward woodside but didn't make it to Alice's as we planned.
I smashed head on to a vehicle trying to making an abrupt u-turn from the shoulder lane failing to see us approaching. If it weren't for my cat like reflexes telling me to jump as high as I can, I would have sustained major injuries. I flew stright over the car fracturing my leg and landing in the dirt uncounsious. unfortuanatly for my buddy following not so far behind me hit square on to the side of the vehicle with his whole body taking the brunt of the impact.
we were both airlifted to stanford medical and treated overnight. I was released mid week to continue my recovery at home with leg brace and neck support. Now I'm am faced with trying to locate my personal effects which did not follow me, try to retrive my bike in the tow yard to salvage what I can as I only had minmal insurance, and try to track down driver of the vehicle we hit in hopes to seek justice for all this mess. any advice and :2cents gladly welcome.

Feeling better each day and got a boost in confidence as I recieved the insurance Claim info in the mail yesterday from the driver we hit and will follow up and hopfully be successful in getting all medical and bike expenses covered.
