OUCHY!
That sounds like a nasty set of injuries.
Heal well fella.
Nasty - get well soon.
How's the Bike!!??
Heal up cycling brother! all the best
Hitting walls never ends well especially if all you have for protection is a bit of Lycra and polystyrene. Hope you heal quickly SR.
Blimey. That's nasty stuff. Get well soon. At least you got to leave Lancashire at top speed for a proper hospital. 🙂
Oh, and if you need anything dropping into LGI, let us know.
Yeah, you’d definitely have avoided that with discs 😉
It’s weird isnt it, in my mind, I'm always at risk of greater self inflicted injury on the MTB, but even ignoring other idiots on the road, my greatest injuries have been from a combination of speed and unforseen circumstances on the roadbike.
Heal fast, Fella. Box set or playstation binging?
I’ll pray for a full and speedy recovery…. not because I think it’ll help much, mostly to piss off Woppit.
+1
I hope you posted here before telling your family. Got to get your priorities straight. Much better than those videos of wobbling across the road and falling into a ditch while going ouch (saying that I hope dezb is ok too)
At least you got to leave Lancashire at top speed for a proper hospital
Hoi! There's nowt wrong with Lancashire!
Get well soon SR. I'm not happy riding on the roads at this time of year: falling leaves + traffic = layer of slime. My last serious off on the road bike was on a bend between Gisburn (village) and Bolton by Bowland when I suddenly found myself horizontal and a metre off the deck. The only "obstacles" in the road where I lost control were crushed leaves.
Ouch, nasty! Healing thoughts from me!
Sounds ouchy....GWS...
well your purty lil'ol face seems to have held up well...
when you can focus properly again, this is useful reading on graduated return to activity and recovery following concussion.
vibes SR.
Jesus! If you'd been on skates on that road that would never have happened!
Get well soon but stick to hockey in future! 😉
Very delicate manhugs. Hope you reciver in good time and without lasting effects
It's stories like this that make it more easy to accept the fact that I don't dare go fast enough to do 2 wheel drifts around every corner!
Bloody hell, healing vibes SR. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
GWS.... ouch.
Shit! Get well soon.
Get well soon SR. Sounds like a nasty set of injuries. Look after yourself.
Good heavens Saxon. Heal well and fast.
Take care of yourself bud.
…….glad you're on the road to recovery Saxonrider.
A lot of people with broken backs and necks on here...…
You never do anything in halfs do you SR !!! Just get well soon 👍👍
Sounds like the wrong kind of leaves on the track. Get well soon and I hope you make a full recovery.
GWS, although minus STW points for going to the hospital before you posted about your off
I feel a ‘what tyre’ thread coming up soon 😉
Did you damage the wall?
Bloody heck ! That looks real nasty ... heal fast.
That's a solid effort, good job & hope you get better soon.
And here was me feeling very sorry for myself after Sunday, pedalling out of a corner into a jump, chain snaps, launches me into a solid high speed ballride onto the stem, hands blown off the bars. End up in a full crumple with some busted ribs & shoulder (again). Made worse by it being a mechanical which caused it, would almost accept if it was my fault...
Nice photo portfolio!
Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
If you are reading this you must already be getting better.👍👍👍
Awesome crash, did you video it ?
Plenty of content creators could enhance your profile 🤣👍
Was the helicopter ride fun?
Helicopters rock!
Healing vibes SR, that sounds serious!.
Out in Bowland was it?
Ouch! Hope you get well soon.
At least you got to leave Lancashire at top speed
I was just thinking the same thing then I read that!
Bejasus that's no way to end a ride! Hope you're recovering quickly !
Wow, bad luck. Where was it, pray tell? This must be a dangerous time of year as well-polished roads get wet and greasy, ice begins to form in shady areas and leaves form a slippery mush. I crashed hard at Forest Beck on 18 August when my sudden change of direction on the bridge overcame the ability of the tyres to grip wet polished tarmac. Broken collar bone and cracked ribs; I'm just about able to sleep on my back now and getting back the use of my right arm as the muscles gain strength but the shoulder joint is still 50% frozen. I'm 62 but I was impressed at how quickly the bone began to knit; within about 3 days I could no longer feel the ends grinding together as the magic glue formed but now it's still sore at the site of the break because (I think) I'm forming a pseudo joint and it's flexing.
Take comfort from knowing it happened at the best time of year and by Spring you'll be back on the bike. I got a smart trainer with Zwift and did a session nine weeks in but climbed off feeling I'd done the collar bone a mischief, so I'm waiting a bit longer before getting back on the trainer.
Ouch! I think we've all been there. Where the world goes into slow motion and you know that its not going to end well. Good work though. If you're going to do something, do it properly!
Sending you healing vibes fella
in leeds too mate
if you need owt or even need a visitor, let me know. I will gladly come and visit you.
Crikey. Ouch. GWS.
Jesus. Stuff of nightmares. It's this sort of thing that makes me question riding a road bike. I've never crashed mine, and hope and pray I never do.
Get well soon.
Wouldn't have happened if you had discs, obvs.
Yikes! Hope your recovery is smooth and quick!
Also broke a vertebrae (vertebra?) this year, wasn't much fun. Still, there's some minor fun to be had smiling at people when they tell you how awful their trifling knee wounds/wrist fractures etc are before mentioning your BROKEN NECK.
I’ve left you a message on FB too, but here are some extra wishes that you recover fast! Will you be transferred to a hospital nearer home?
Yikes! All the best man. Hope you knit up well.
Ooofff, nasty...
Hope you recover soon & are back pedalling just as quickly..
Ouch! Hope the recovery goes well
Healing Vibes, get well soon.
Mucking Fuppet!
