I’m riding the blue tier today!

Rest up, and hope it’s nothing serious.

I almost crashed riding in St Helens when my shoe/pedal clipped the uphill side of the benched trail while I was faffing with my helmet.

Thanks team. Managed to put a few small fractures in my hip, ribs and vertebrae along with a partial collapsed lung. Waiting to see if they need to operate on my hip and drain my lungs. Will be in hospital for a few days.

Could have been a lot worse, so that’s a SJ.

Best of luck with the healing @P_N20

SJ: Got stuck into the garage and cleared out about twenty empty boxes and more room around the car so no need to squeeze past bikes anymore.

NSJ: Have got five bikes to offload.

Thanks for the positive thoughts all.

Amateur retrogrouch takes on a table top at way higher speed than his skill allows, lands on the back end of the ramp with his weight too far forward and gets spat out OTB and somersaults onto his back.

SJ: No surgery required, just time to let everything repair by itself.

Jeezus. That is a proper crash.

Hope all goes well.
