My father, Hugh Macintosh, was the rider hit by the pickup truck during the Civil War Century ride. His name is Hugh Macintosh and he rides with the Baltimore Bicycling Club. The accident happened around mile 70 on the downhill portion of Jacks Mountain Road . We are trying to piece together the incident and would appreciate if any eye-witnesses can contact the police at (717) 334-8111.

He is making progress and we are very hopeful considering the extent of his injuries. Thanks for pulling for him

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
