Glad you are on the mend - was a pleasant pootle int' Peak a couple of years back....

I've just found out that I was out cold for up to 30 mins as all I remember is seeing were my feet bounce off the pedals (first time on flats) then I saw as I looked up were two or 3 paramedics looking over me then a caring club member fighting for the best position to get the best photo angle (below), then I was straight in the ambulance and away.

Many thanks to all those who helped me out especially Tom who stayed with me until the ambulance came and I didn't even say thank you to him at the time, and Johnny P and Eric for sorting out the return home of my bike and car
And to the paramedics and all those at Wrexham Hospital for making the New Year one not to forget

There's no way I am trying flatties now!!!

Sort yourself out quickly fella. I've got a high-vis vest with your name on it* at HtN.

*If your name is Marshal.

If you change it to JohnClimber count me in for a refund (spare ticket) and I'll come over and help you out. If not I might just ride/push it

One for the album! Glad you're ok(ish!)

Ride it! Something to aim for.

get well soon bud 😉

All the best for a quick recovery. From personal experience of bust ribs and shady patches on the lungs x-ray make sure you keep taking 10 deep breaths every hour no matter how painful it is to keep your lungs oxygenated to prevent infections/pneumonia.

John, you forgot the one of you wearing a dress 😉

Careful with broken ribs. As sore as it'll be to breath deeply you need to do it now and again or you're open to all sorts of chest trouble.

Just another example of why John is such a "clown" rides clown bikes and does circus tricks on them. John the committee has noted your efforts for SOTY* 2011 you are in pole position!

Thanks for all your concerns and pi$$ taking

I slept so much better in my own bed last night, in fact I'm still in it now while typing this.

The aches and pains are still here in a big way, the swelling on my left hip is still massive, but I don't need to take the pain killing tablets every 4 hours I can now stretch them to every 6 hours.

I need to phone the boss this afternoon to ask for the rest of this week off, wish me luck.

John I don't think you need to ask, your in no state to drive (and would probably be doing so without insurance) Go see your GP or get him to come and see you for a (not)Fit for work note

Get well soon John 8)
