Stop While You Are Ahead!


Judd Verses The Hana Oak.

Judd Williams, who does the Saturday Beaches Lodge Ride, impressed us with his motocross skills on Friday morning. Later that same morning, he wrecked and broke his collar bone. In an email he said "I wrecked on the z trail near the RV gate. There's a few rollers that run parallel to a ditch. I just peddle as fast as I can and jump them. Oops. Broken shoulder blade and collar. Feels like broken glass in my arm . Lol. Ps; I did that tree obstacle the other direction too. That was before the wreck , of course ;-)"

Not the best way to start the new year, but hopefully, he will have healed before the beginning of the road season.
