Tim Tower as seen during swim/bike transition during the West Kennebunk Fire Company Triathlon on Aug 26, 2006. After the swim, the bike is taken (running) with the shoes already clipped in. In this image, Tim has already mounted the bike (which is moving at 10 mph), the right foot is in and he is in the process of getting the left foot in the shoe.

The BC/PMC-'07 new addition to the Bunny Clark t-shirt arsenal. At $15.00 per, one-hundred percent of the proceeds go to the Pan-Mass. Challenge/Jimmy Fund. Handsome devil as a model, hey?

One of my best friends and fellow PMC rider, Paul Haseltine (left) and myself at Sturbridge, Massachusetts during dinner on the eve of the 2007 PMC ride, Friday, August 3, 2007. Notice the Fish Tunes T-shirt - well before it was publically known that The Wildlife Refugees would produce such an astounding collection of original music about fishing.

I definitely hurt the most after the swim in a triathlon event. At this moment, I am thinking to myself; why the hell I am subjecting myself to this torture!

A shot taken at 4:30 AM, August 1, 2009 at the Sturbridge, Massachusetts starting line putting the bikes in position before the beginning of the ride. The digital image shows me (Tim Tower) on the right and my best friend and cycling mate, Paul Hesaltine, on the left. At this time I never would have thought that six hours later I would be lying on the ground unconscious from a bike crash.

Sitting on a hospital gurney in the emergency room at Tobey Hospital in Wareham, Massachusetts after I tapped the wheel of the rider ahead of me and went down on the pavement. The crash happened ten miles from the finish of the first day at the 2009 PMC while sitting in, riding with a group of fifteen cyclists. The quick response of the emergency crew had an EMT standing over me within a minute, the ambulance another five minutes. I was rendered unconscious during the crash but the CAT scan results at Tobey came out negative. Such are the dangers when riding with others on a bicycle. The crash was totally my fault but, except for a slightly separated shoulder and a cut over my eye (that required a few stitches), all my injuries were in the "road rash" category.

A shot taken on the "slow ferry" from Provincetown, Massachusetts to Boston, Massachusetts on August 2, 2009. I can be seen toasting the end of an event, the last day (ride) of which I was denied on the bike because of the head trauma I sustained after the crash the first day. In the picture I am enjoying my favorite anesthetic, a rum & Coke, happy to be standing vertically on my own and proudly displaying the war wounds I received the day before. I realize that this is nothing compared to what kids with cancer go through on a daily basis. And, yes, cycling is a little more dangerous than running.

Another look at the idiot who was too complacent while riding the last leg of the first day. I posted this picture to remind myself (and others) to pay attention when riding and observe standard riding protocol.
