Ray "Papo" Caballero recovering well

************Papo and Fuzzy in Big Bear last year***************************




Former Backboner Ray "Papo" Caballero (Helen's/ Gary-Fisher/Subaru) is on the fast track to recovery after a wicked-gnarly crash in the Santa Monica Mountains a few weeks ago. Papo likes to do 100 mile mountain bike rides on the weekends, and that makes a brother a little exhausted sometimes. He was flying down the trail at an alarming rate when a seemingly innocent ENORMOUS boulder-drop appeared from the fog. Clipping his pedal and eating large quantities of crap, Papo fractured his pelvis and was in generally bad shape. When I called him at the hospital, he had just been given anesthesia for surgery, and was quoted as saying "cbjash a,fj afjalf kqjkd;lj xcmajd" or something like that. Anyway, I spoke with him last week and he is doing well, and has been riding again. Good luck to Papo, even though he's racing for Helen's..who never wanted him until after he raced for us. Figures.
