Idaho Centennial Trail # 19

About five miles into the trail, Johnny and his bike went off a side hill and his bike flipped down the hill about 25ft, it broke the radiator off and snapped the brake cable. After trying 10 minutes to get it back on the trail I remembered I had a rope in my backpack, I tied it to the axle and stood up on the trail and pulled the rope while the other three guys pushed. This is the trail where he went off.

Once we got it back on the trail we tied the radiator to the bike and told Johnny he had to ride out with no front brake, which turned out to be the ride of his life.

We came across a creek that Johnny killed his bike in, and when he killed it he stuck his left leg out he ripped his knee out of the socket, and went down!

That’s when we all felt the panic set in.

I knew right then that at some point someone was going to sleep in the woods tonight, because I knew he couldn't’t make it out on his bike now, he did try for about a mile but it was just to hard and painful for him.....................
