Coming down from owdbets to Ashworth valley I hit gravel on a new bridge and fell over 20 feet down onto rocks.
Took 30 rescue people to extricate me.
Had an operation on my sacrum as they snapped off when I basically landed on my bottom. Snapped 6ribscand collapsed lung.
I also have a hairline fracture of left tibia via an MRI scan.
I wont be able to stand for 6 weeks all my legs and back are black and blue. Morphene is my fave snack at the moment too

Get well soon, you trick cyclist, some injuries from riding a cycle,
I must add, the comments from the MEN link made me laugh, sorry
Not sure I was missed but I had a serious accident last Sunday whilst cycling.
Coming down from owdbets to Ashworth valley I hit gravel on a new bridge and fell over 20 feet down onto rocks.
Took 30 rescue people to extricate me.
Had an operation on my sacrum as they snapped off when I basically landed on my bottom. Snapped 6ribscand collapsed lung.

That was very nasty. I hope you will be better soon. Folks specialise in mending such bikes but best not fret about that just yet. All the best.

That sounds horrific, and extremely painful. Speedy recovery.
The best thing about being old is we did all our stupid stuff before the Internet was invented, so there’s no proof.
