Would you really want one – thought you had enough trouble with paracetamol !!  Thanks for the info on the CICLE classic – did you spot Mick Arnold & Bernard at the first feed?

Ivan,

 

I've sent a briefing to my daughter's partner who is being sent by the BBC to Paris to bring back pictures of the atmosphere of Le Grand Depart to show the Londoners watching BBC London what to expect next year.  Maybe I should ask him to bring back a few surplus Liberty Seguros jerseys!

Commiserations Pete, know how it feels, got my front wheel whipped away by two young Spaniards who came hurtling out of a side road in Muro, similarly whisked away by ambulance and spent the night and much of the next day in hospital discharged in time to catch the plane home, fortunately no broken bones, but pelvic bruising and lacerations etc. etc. so again back to hobbling around – not much fun.  Hope the recovery is speedy.  Thanks for the info on armchair cycling, will now be able to put it to good use.

 

Cheers,

 

Gill

Subject: [SouthLeicsCTC] Over the Handlebars Club

 

Last Sunday I became a member of the “Over the Handlebars” club, joining Nick “Fatnick” Rosenthal and Max Scott to name but two recent additions. Like them, I ended up in hospital with no other vehicle being involved as far as I can tell (Nick could blame the diagonal temporary traffic lights cable in the road, while Max had a front lamp lodge in the front wheel).

 

Best guess at present was that I was out of the saddle accelerating downhill, when the gear jumped (possibly at the end of the micro-adjuster limit). As the pedal dropped from under me, I would have been pitched over the bars with hands behind me, so unable to prevent the inevitable! But still subject to confirmation by the Police whether any other vehicles involved.

 

Luckily it was on the A6 at Kibworth, and a passing ambulance stopped. I came to while they were dressing my wounds. After transfer to another ambulance, I was taken to LRI where I spent the night under observation – that means having a light shone in the eyes hourly – for which I was very grateful!

 

Despite an 8 cm gash down the left side of the forehead, I suffered no headache; “Where there’s no sense, there’s no pain”. X-rays did however reveal several hairline fractures of the pelvis, which is why I am using crutches to hobble around; I can confirm that a groin injury is painful! The bruise on the thigh is testimony to the strength of my femur.

 

I’m hoping to get going on the rollers when not too painful. But expect it will be May before I’m out on the bike again.

 

Thanks to those who have offered their comiserations.

 

Regards,

 

Peter Witting

Just to put the record straight, it happened at 10am. Had it been after lunch, I'm sure the fall would have been more graceful!

Sounds like very bad luck to me, although some people will do anything
