Pales into insignificance compared to the horrors of the other accidents, but I'm afraid that in very heavy rain and winds in Cornwall I crashed out on a slippery road and bruised my ribs and leg. Also suffered some knee problems which I now managed to get xrayed..
Not wanting to let the guy who I was cycling with continue on his own, I got the train back to the midlands and picked up a car and backed him up all the way to JOG where he / we finished on Sunday afternoon. We had some horrendous weather all the way, and encountered the tail end of the US hurricane in Dumfries and Galloway, whereupon the ferries to Arran were cancelled and we diverted up through Glasgow.
I was of course gutted that I didnt get to carry on, but maybe another time.
Much respect to anyone who did LEJOG over the last two weeks. It was an absolute endurance test to say the least.
