Amelia Island Main Beach Ride Report, November 15, 2025,

[Susan Taylor]

Yesterday morning brought another beautiful mid-November day to go for a bike ride, and anything else anybody wanted to do--including watching the Dawgs beat the Horns!  Starting the day off right, we had 17 registered cyclists show up at Main Beach to catch up on the recent news, listen to a strict safety briefing, and to giddy-up and go.

The first and most important topic of conversation was concerning our dear friend, Peter P, who was injured last week when he crashed his bike into a parked landscape trailer on Clinch Drive. Amy reported she had talked to Peter's wife who said he is still in the hospital and may require surgery.  AFAIK, he is in good hands at UF Shands, which many of us know well, so prayers and best wishes go out to Peter P and his family for a smooth recovery.

We also chatted briefly about the Open House being held at the Airport Community Garden, hosted by Farmer-in-Chief Dan G, and other gardeners including our own Kathleen F.  Later that day, I took a break from football on TV for some delicious snacks and a tour of gorgeous raised beds, growing greens and other veggies, and marigolds being visited by a monarch butterfly!  🦋

Thanks to all who came out to ride with us yesterday, and to Peter B and Mike L for taking on the responsibilities of leading the ride.  Well done, y'all!

Susan,

I’m honored to be counted as one of your friends.

I returned home last night late. The trauma center put a prescription in a teeter, but it was closed when we got home. Last night was a rough one.

The final count is two fractured neck vertebrae, four cracked, spinal vertebrae between the scapula, and my left shoulder and arm, which they would not MRI because there was no visible damage, even though I can’t move it it’s on fire, and very painful. The ICU had rules, and they were gonna follow them dammit

So, back home for now, full upper body brace, full neck, brace, and a lot of pain. It’ll get better day by day before you know it. I’ll be out there cycling away, that’s my goal.

I’m replying to personal emails and back to drugs and rest (once Teeter opens).

On a focus note, do you know or can you reach out to those who are at the crash and see if a police report was filed and let me know?

Peter

Peter...the bike club has insurance and you are covered after your auto ins. Pays their share.  Just thought I would let you knownin case you didnt.  Praying for relief, and a quick recovery.
