This will probably surprise you as it did me, but this is not actually a scene from Spurgeon's recent riding vacation in Colorado.
Instead, it was Rick Hogge, a Texas man who was riding with some friends on a narrow and rocky trail near Crested Butte, Colorado, when his front wheel hit a rock and he was jolted over the side of the cliff, plunging into the stream he estimates was 60 to 70 feet below.
