UPDATE

The latest:
THE LEG IS NOT BROKEN!!! YAY!!!
I don't know the status of the bike yet, but we are in the process of tracking it down and finding out if it is driveable.
He has road rash, he has a laceration on his leg and is getting windshield out of the cut, and they are stitching it as we speak.
Denny and Lisa our secondary support crew made it there to him and he is doing well and wants to get the status on his bike to find out if he can continue on!!! We are heading south to see him.
The checkpoint is in Daytona Beach so cross your fingers that we will be able to head north once again with the wildman on the bike.
:)
Will post more later when we can and know more!

  4. Cheryle - We just heard about Jerry's crash! What a bummer! The main thing is he's OK. We'll keep tabs on the blog to see if he is able to continue. Thanks for the updates! Good luck!

  5. Hi Cheryle & Jerry --
    Lori Tipton here with KTUU Ch2 News in Anchorage. So sorry to hear about the crash!!! But what a relief that Jerry is okay!
    We at Ch2 were wondering if you would call us for a phone interview to talk about the race / what happened? My # is 907-748-1328.
    Thanks!

  6. How did his safety gear do? What kind of jacket/pants was he wearing to get all that rash??

    So sad, but glad you're okay overall.
