About this title

Synopsis

Mike Gallagher had taken his motorcycle on America’s best rides, and survived many close calls. One day on Colorado’s Cottonwood Pass, the law of averages caught up with him. Mike’s favorite ride is Cottonwood Pass, near his home outside Buena Vista, Colorado. He’s ridden it hundreds of times. On a beautiful June day in 2015, a simple gear-shifting problem caused Mike to launch off a curve into a steep ravine, trapped under a tree and his motorcycle. His left leg was severed under the knee. His left arm and right leg were pinned under him. Grasping his motorcycle key in his right hand, he tried to saw through the tree on top of him, to no avail. Gasoline from his motorcycle dripped on him , cauterizing his wounds – but the gas also pooled under him, burning his back. He lay in agony for hours, until a bicyclist, suspicious of the skid mark on the road, looked into the ravine and spotted him. A perfect combination of local search-and-rescue personnel, medical professionals, and divine intervention saved Mike. Against the odds, Mike emerged from rehab six months later, walking and ready to live independently. He set out on a quest to find and thank the people who saved him. What he discovered changed him, and maybe it’ll change you, too.
