I almost got caught up in that shotgun start race from Olds to Swingset. Cant believe they got a permit for a race like that with no closed course. Was at Swingset and came over the top of Olds from the south side just as that race started. Saw a guy on a bike and a quad in the middle of that...
Glad you are ok! Being part of a fast group, I always worry about missing something at speed and having that exact same thing happen. We had a guy break his back in two places on a similar type gap and dead stop hit. No paralysis, but he quit the dunes not wanting a repeat.
