So yesterday, our team captain narrowly missed getting hit by a Mack Truck while crossing Pacific Coast Highway to get to our shop. The truck did run over the toes of his right foot though. He hobbled into BCR and worked through the night, hoping it was just "Normal Mack-Truck-Pain." However, it appears that his toes were broken as he showed up today with a cast on his foot and crutches. He cast aside his crutches and hopped everywhere on his good foot. Here he is machining, despite the crushed bones in his foot. This is not the first serious injury our captain has had to work through either. He truly is permanently devoted to BCR.

Isn't this like the second kid on your team to get ran over by a vehicle comming to your site in the last few years?
If that's the case you very much need to seriously consider moving.
I don't care if it's the most beautiful facilities in the land. If kids have to endanger their lives to get there it aint worth it.

Although this year we've had to get the First Aid kit out more times then ever before... Maybe we should send you back before it gets any worse.

The same captain and his buddy also broke a few bones among them when they rolled a gold cart down a hill.... Quite a streak of team captain injuries if you ask me....

Oh dear. I'm a team captain this year. And I bike nearly everywhere I can.
I just gotta stay in one piece until Atlanta, I guess.

Instead of worrying about the safety of crossing the street....
I would like to congratulate your team on choosing a Captain that has this kind of dedication to the team.
This is great team spirit. Working with pain. Serving as a great role model to the underclassmen.
congrats to the Captain and the team...
Have the best of luck this year!!
