[Closed] Man down 🙁

A mate (40yrs old) had a heart attack a couple of months ago and has been getting on v well having had a stent put in. Excellent course of rehab and a couple of stones lighter.

Healing vibes fella.

Earlier this year I attended a boggies ride after an absense of a year or 2, Simon gave me the biggest hug which says a lot about the guy he is.

Theres no one I respect more for putting time into his sport for the benefit of many over the years.

I hope we see him back on the trails and footpaths very soon

Plum

PS its been great to see the bogtrotters expertise and spirit pull everthing together at this time so well done all of you

Healing vibes.

Damn. Good luck SFB, get well soon.

Best wishes to SFB and his family

I've enjoyed your pics

+1,000. SFB's innocent Ladies on bikes always makes me grin.

Hope you make a speedy and total recovery SFB. I remember when I first signed up to STW I enjoyed reading his ride threads and the photos.

get well soon SFB, one of the original, and one of the best contributors to this forum over the years.

well done to those that were with him, great work

hoping for a speedy recovery SFB.

Get well soon

Get well soon SBF

Well done to the guys that treated him
I bet that 30 mins was hard work and felt a lot longer (No disrespect to the emergency service, you were no doubt in the middle of nowhere)
so good he wasn't alone and you knew what to do

I hope you make a full recovery Simon. You've always seemed to have the right attitude, this news has jolted me and I hope you come through fine.

All the best for a speedy recovery SFB

I hope that all those messages lead you to a very rapid recovery.

Get well soon. TH.

Simon, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Hope to see you back across the top of Stanage or some other cheeky trail!

Just read this news, very best wishes for a full and speedy recovery SFB; hopefully you'll be out again before too long with more photos of cheeks on cheeky trails.

Blimey - all the best for a speedy and full recovery Simon. And well done to those with him, having faced a similar situation I know how hard it can be to do the right thing.

best wishes from me as well Simon.

definitely makes me think that I should do a CPR course...

All the best Simon, hoping you make a full and speedy recovery!

Well done the Boggies!
Looking forward to more inspirational pics and routes in the near future, so best wishes for your recovery Simon.

All the best Simon. Hope you make a full recovery and are up on you feet before too long.

Best wishes to Simon. Hoping for a speedy recovery

Speedy recovery Simon

All the best, hope everything goes in your favour and you're back out and about soon.

Also well done to the folk that administered CPR.

I've been a long time lurker of the Bogtrotters pictures , get well soon and keep them coming.

I joined STW about 5 years ago and in reply to my very first post somebody asked me if i was Simon F Barnes....I couldn't lie, I am not!

Good luck fella on your speedy full recovery, have enjoyed your style of photos over the years, looking forward to the next set 😉

F-in-L had CPR performed on him no more than a couple of months ago....found it hard to keep up with him a fortnight ago on a good speed ride! Thumbs up to the folk who can perform CPR

Good luck fella.
Excellent work by the boggies.

Latest from his son on FB is that he's beginning to come round out of his anaesthetic and has been moved to a general ward rather than ICU which sounds like good news.

Heal quick fella

Certainly a lot better than "critical", crazy-legs.

I suspect SFB will be thoroughly baffled by the outpouring of adulation when he discovers this thread!

glad to hear that the signs are promising! 🙂

I can't help thinking that 7 pages into an SFB thread with no arguing is some sort of record.

Glad he's improving.

I've seen more

That's great news Crazy-legs!.
Hopefully someone's taken his camera in for all those Nurse's bottoms.

indeed, great to hear some positive news 😀

I hope in the circumstances the mods will forgive me for making a post just in order to add a tag (inspired by comments above)

Good news (expects pics of nurses bums in the very near future)

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Get well soon Simon, hope to randomly encounter you out on the trails sometime soon.

Would somebody please post a bit of foul invective as I fear that if Simon reads all this outpouring of affection it might give him a ...

Oh, hang on, he's just had one of those.

glad to hear that the signs are promising!

Glad to hear there's improvement, healing vibes being sent!
