50 y/o tries plasma-planing at 20mph .... very Ouchy.

[Fab Foodie]

So, club training run small line at 20 mph, all of a sudden lad in front seems to slow, hit the front brake and nothing! Clip his wheel and I'm flat on my back in the road. Beano jacjet riped at the elbow, curved burn on my shil and lots of grazing. Shaken and hurty. Just back from getting cleaned-up and checked-over at A&E.
Very hurty now, need to go beddy-byes as up early to fly to Dublin.
First fast off for about 30 years or so, so not bad in that respect.
Too tired for photos.

 

[roadrash]

ouch , hope your not too much more hurty in the morning

I hope you get a good sleep, sorry to hear of your bounce.
Who last checked these brakes?

Brakes were OK, but front-tyre had split open, maybe pothole induced, who knows?

Ouch! GWS FF!

Ouch! Hope it looks a bit better in the morning.

I'm in Dublin from tomorrow night for a couple of days. Give me a shout if you need corroboration of the seriousness of your injuries!

 

[Aperitif]

It will not really start to sting until Thursday night / Friday morning, Fab.
Prescription?
Hopefully, the beer will be a little 'claudy'...

Speedy recovery, K.

Ouch Fabbers!

TC's offer of a thorough once-over is probably worth taking her up on!

 

[Keith Oates]

Sounds nasty.

Apart from the tyre was the bike OK? (Priorities!)

Hope it all clears up quickly and you're back on the bike soon.

 

[Crackle]

Oooh, Spread Guinness on it liberally from the inside, always works.

What's going on in Dublin is there a CycleChat convention no one has told me about?

 

[jazzkat]

Proper ouchy! I hope you get well soon.

 

[Archie_tect]

Pleased it wasn't worse FF... hope you're feeling OK soon.
