Mountain Biker Takes Hard Fall at Tamarancho

A 51-year-old San Francisco man crashed his mountain bike Sunday
afternoon at Camp Tamarancho in Fairfax, prompting a response from
Marin County Fire, Ross Valley Fire and a helicopter, sources said.
The man hit the edge of a railroad tie on the Serpentine Trail and
went over the handlebars, suffering impact on his side and face, said
Captain Bill Rivera of Marin County Fire.
"His nose was bloody and he had possible broken ribs on his right
side, so we C-spined him and sent him to Marin General (Hospital),"
Rivera said. "We treated for the worst and hoped for the best."
A rescue helicopter landed at the Camp Tamarancho grounds but was not
needed, Rivera said. The crash took place about a quarter mile to the
south of the Tamarancho cafeteria, he said.
