Below is the latest on Mark, from a Classic Rendezvous list member (Jon Spangler) who responded to my forwarding of Jon Sharratt's messages.
Mark's bike (the forks) as well as his body were injured.

Listers,
I just spoke with Mark, who is receiving very good care and feeling pretty good--at least considering what he has been through. I also called Jane,
who said that their friends neighbors, and the Minneapolis bike community "have rallied around us."
Mark has heard that the main frame of his Holdsworth Mistral is OK, "but the fork is not." (He is already planning on having a new 2 1/2" rake fork built
and rebuilding his Holdsworth: most of the components that need to be replaced are easily replaceable, and the rare Michelin tires that he had on
the bike are OK, too.)
He said,"I may not be riding this winter, but I expect to be riding again next spring..."
(Having been through this kind of experience, I also know Mark is going to be alright if he is already thinking so clearly about repairing his bike... ;-)
Mark has been getting lots of phone calls and visits so Jane suggests one of the following instead of calls, at least from most of us:
