Crashed on Tuesday - 6 broken ribs and scrapes

[classic33]

Those boards are not the best thing to be laying on.

BTW is that Appleton Academy in Wyke?

Yes. It was on their MTB track. My son's club (Kirklees Cycling Academy) uses it once a fortnight.

Have you been on it?

True. I've been lent an electric recliner which is a godsend.

 

[Buck]

No I've not been on it but work a stones throw away from there!


Edit: I didn't even know they had a MTB track!

Jaysis! Just read this having read you Chris Hoy Sportive giveaway (which I'd have loved to have taken you up on, but can't).

Get well soon fella! And MTB is for kids

Ive got man flu because its the long bank holiday weekend , for some reason the wife thinks a trip to ikea is more important than bike riding , i think i would rather have a cracked rib than look at furniture ...............

Just came across this thread, I would just like to add a GWS. 6 ribs is just extreme bad luck.

Been meaning to ask, where are the broken scrapes!
Greys throws no light on where scrapes are.

Ouchie. Gws. Try to avoid laughing and sneezing in my experience.

Down my RH side from my middle all the way to my ankles. Currently I've turned a shade of deep purple all down that side, across my back and my front. I look like a long beetroot!

I had one cracked rib once and it was sore. So big 'OUCH' Take your time before rushing back to the bike and heal well.

 

[Oldbloke]

Ouch! GWS...

Get well soon from a fellow Yorkshire man you shouldn't have been in Wyke were they are all alike, it was always going to end badly best of look for the C2c
