I have to say I'm quite jealous guys - wish I was joining you, but I'll be at the VolksWorld2011 show at Sandown all weekend. I need one or the other to change their dates for next year !!

Have a great time - I'lm sure you'll do ukaps proud, and I'll see you for the next trip with Mr Amano in October 😉

I'll be in the lake district doing an ecological study. I am a ball of walking jealousy at those going.

Hmn. Just had a pretty bad fall on my bike on the way to work this morning. Might throw my Holland plans into jeopardy... I'll see how I feel after A&E (banged my head and knackered my leg). I'm fine, but going to A&E as a precaution due to the bang on the head 🙂

 

[a1Matt]

Jeez mate that sucks. Hope you are OK. Keep us posted.

 

[Steve Smith]

Naturally, I took a few photos 😉

Just a scratch Steve, you can't miss this one 😉 get well mate hope nothing serious.

Ouch.

It's possible to minimise getting hurt if you feel the bike slipping, or can see a collision or danger coming up, but when a bit of your bike snaps it just gets you out of the blue (I am wincing at various memories now... snapped stem, brake cables, even a buckled frame).

That looks really sore.. 🙁

The cut on the leg should be ok, you didn't break it, but the knock on the head can be an issue, especially as are going to fly and the air pressure can make things worse.

Weren't you wearing an helmet?

 

[a1Matt]

It's a road trip for us Luis 🙂

What's a helmet?

 

[Dan Crawford]

Blimey SteveO, I hope you're ok?!

I've taken a few bangs to the head recently, getting run over isn't fun, but I was wearing a helmet!!! Going away and removing yourself from the usual pressures of work and home may actually do you good. And a bit of time off the saddle will certainly help!

Hope it goes OK in A&E, let us know how you get on pal.

 

[Steve Smith]

Sitting at an nhs walk in centre. just been assessed and given paraceromol before being seen by a doc.

Hopefully I'll still be good, but I think it depends on my leg. pretty hard to move about on it right now.

 

[a1Matt]

Dan - Is there room on the minibus for a pair of crutches?

A road trip? then no excuses.. Only on planes bangs on head make an impact! :~D

There's room for crutches and we have plenty of carriers, like Matt, Sam, Mark, John, well, pretty much everyone except "little Dan no guns"

 

[mlgt]

Hope you are ok mate. Let us know how the A&E goes 🙂

 

[Steve Smith]

Been home for a while, all is pretty much fine. Just got to chew on Paracetamol and Ibuprofen for the next few days and rest up a bit.

Dan/John... I'll let you know in the morning what I'm doing. Fingers crossed I haven't seized up over night!
