Trans Am Bike Race / TransAm / TABR

For what it’s worth I found most of the course to be safe. Some of the big rig logging truck passes were scary but mostly due to their size and noise. The eastern states were very safe and courteous places to ride.

I had one near miss in Kentucky, with a pick-up going against traffic on a dual carriageway in a heavy storm to turn into a car park who I only dodged by millimetres.

I didn’t ride in Kansas, where three of the hits (and Eric’s collision) happened. By all accounts that’s not a safe place to be. There had already been discussion on rerouting around the worst stretch.

I can’t imagine what the insurance situation is for Nathan and whether that might make it impossible to run another edition.

Do we know how the other guys who were hit are?

Ashley Sharp was hit and dragged but somehow got off lightly.
"Treated at Emergency Room but released." Hopefully that is accurate and there are no long term injuries.

Tsaichu Cheng is in bad shape, click the Updates tab here: https://www.gofundme.com/get-well-tc last update 10 days ago. Another post suggested he has family present though they speak little English. Really hope they pull through this.

I think there was a fourth collision but can't find info.
