Hey Greg, great idea! Am interested, keep me posted. Christa AKA Stops With Face and Lucky:) -----Original Message----- Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 9:46:00 pm To: CycleSportCycling@yahoogroups.com Subject: [CycleSportCycling] CPR/First Aid classes. From: "Greg Hollis" <gr8tgreg@yahoo.com>
During the last few weeks of this years cycling season, there have been a few accidents on our rides. Some not so serious, a couple that have been more serious, and at least one incident I know of where an ambulance was called (not counting Ed's accident).
Recently I read about a cyclist in the Tour-de-Napa Century Ride a few weeks ago who coasted into a rest stop and collapsed. Two other riders who happened along determined he wasn't breathing and had no heart beat. Fortunately, one was a cardiologist and the other a nurse practitioner. They immediately started CPR and saved the cyclist's life.
It made me think that maybe I should update my CPR/First Aide certificate, and it occurred to me that others might be interested. I looked for a program that would focus on first aid for cycling injuries.
I tried American Red Cross and American Heart Association, but then with the help of a couple of other cyclists I connected with Keith Mitten, who is with the Enloe Education Center, and heads up Enloe's Fit-4-Life athletic program.
Keith has offered to teach us CPR/First Aid through the Enloe Program. Keith has been a medic for over 12 years, and would be able to answer any questions we have about First Aid in general, and cycling accident injuries in particular.
The CPR/First Aid class takes about 4 to 5 hours, and will cost $50 per person.
If anyone is interested in updating their CPR/First Aide Certification, or would like to take the class just for the general knowledge, please let me know by either posting here or sending me an email to Gr8tgreg at yahoo-dot-com. When I know how many people are interested, we'll set up a time and place.
