Luckily I've been sick for a few weeks, otherwise may well have been on
the bunch ride myself. I was able to take Simon's call and arrive with a
car to cart away the wreckage. The rider that suffered the greatest
injuries looked terrible when I saw him on Sunday. His bike was in
remarkably good shape despite his forks being severed about half way
down. He had no injuries on his hands or elbows... just his face! Eeek!
Keep safe out there peoples!
