Craig Lewis Site
Team TIAA-CREF rider, Craig Lewis, has a spiffy new site worth checking out, which you can do by clicking here. Last year Outside Magazine profiled Lewis in this article, which described Lewis's horrible crash at the 2004 Tour de Georgia:
During the 18-mile time trial in the 2004 Tour de Georgia, Lewis was cranking downhill at 40 miles per hour when a 65-year-old retiree gunned an SUV directly into his path. Lewis never had a chance to put on the brakes. At the time of the crash, his pace had him finishing in the top ten. But instead of sprinting for the last mile and a half, he was being rushed to the hospital with both of his lungs punctured, a fractured scapula, collarbone, tibia, wrist, and skull, 14 cracked ribs, a broken nose and vertebra, plus a busted jaw.
Although I was at this time trial, I didn't see the crash or hear about it until the next day. In light of what happened to Lewis, I'm pretty happy I missed it.
