Good to see he is home having dodged a bullet-get well Mike. Not sure if you are making it up to the great white north this year for the nationals but you have been a fantastic addition to our series.
On a semi-related note, I am still recovering from hitting an off-leash dog (in a park that is leash on only) that jumped out in front of me when I was riding on a gravel trail in May. Was doing 30 km/h (18 mph) and took a heavy concussion from a dirt nap, scapula fractures, rib fractures and a lot of soft-tissue damage to my left shoulder. Still can't work out how I ended up so badly injured from this one.
Damn... this makes me think to all the times i jump on my bike... fuck, that's scarier than jumping on my dirtbike.
Anyway, i hope they find the mofo chevy guy.
It's not like it's I-95 or I-40

Could have been so much worse. Really is telling when a bunch of moto dudes are like "riding on the road? F that , too dangerous!!!"
I've done many many thousands of miles training on the roads. Gave it up about 10 years ago when I quit road racing because the training miles on the road were too dangerous despite living in one of the most bike friendly places in the US with plenty of quiet backcountry roads.
I recently returned to road riding during the lockdown since our mtb trails got shut down and to rehab a fractured knee from a moto crash. This is a good reminder to retreat back to the dirt, as if the makeshift memorial for a fellow rider that I pass on every ride isn't reminder enough.
Sadly, the percentage of hit and runs in these scenarios is super high, which is ironic, because hitting a cyclist in the US rarely results in more than a couple hundred dollar fine unless it was a drunk.
I guarantee the POS that hit Mike either has outstanding warrants or was under the influence.
Mike, get a mtb, or just stick to riding Baldwin trail.
Glad Mike survived.
They'll find the guy.
I look forward to seeing you at the track...soon.
Until then, You & Danielle and the entire family are in my family's prayers.

Thanls for that!
They deserve to be prosecuted and catch a felony hit and run charge.
Sorry it happened to you MA.
Let's find this prick that drove off and vote to neutered him. Or better yet run him over with his truck while he's on a bike.
