I rarely, if ever, agreed with you Simon but best wishes to you and your family for the now, I particularly liked the previous comment about you being currently engaged in an argument with Death, and in the future when youre back with us Im particularly looking forward to your thoughts on the "might I suggest a bell" thread 🙂
Bivvyed out last night so had a had plenty of time to think about things/Simons situation so today I rode as though it was my last, riding as much cheeky as possible but doing my best not to upset people ,did not have chance to photograph bums so I failed on that count!
C,mon Simon sort yourself out my photography is crap we need more shots of the Lakes/Dales from your lense 🙂
**** me, how did I miss this?!? SFB to the forum please. Heal quick you old bugger. x
Recover quickly & completely please, mate.
We need more photos of arses on bicycles.
All the best sfb
I just made the connection between sfb and the three peaks this weekend.
It reminded me of how much he liked a 'discssion' about cyclocross rules 😉
C'mon SFB, you can't leave us like this. The CXers will win otherwise!
Indeed all the best to SFB
Always read the recurring cardiac threads and can tell you Simon will benefit from all encouragment on his journey to recovery. Don't know him but core fitness and good medical care go a long way, keep up the good work!

Can any medics comment on the nature of a heart attack in someone who is a regular cyclist and therefore likely to be pretty fit? I think it would be a useful discussion here and help raise awareness of potential heart conditions that fitness won't prevent but could help reduce the impact of.
geetee1972. If you start the thread mentioned above I've got some observations from the point of view of someone of reasonable fitness who has had a heart attack. It was a year before I was back on the bike. Retrospectively there were plenty of signs, which I would recognise now but I largely ignored these until it was too late.
Only last week one of the group I was with was behind everyone else on the first hill, very little warm up and he ended up turning back, I need to speak to him.
These early signs. Yes please. Pook collapsed on a ride once and we were flumoxed as to what he had.
Cold induced broncho constriction mark from riding up a hill in -12 conditions without a face mask and chatting to binners. That's what the doc said
Good job you had a Dr who knew binners, Pook.
Come on SFB!
TWICE Though. Second time was alot milder-I'd say +6c. You just sat down not feeling right?.... If you got a ECG from the Docs I'd shut up. Anywaaay 🙂
Nah it was below freezing again - remember that fog? Anyway,
Any news on sfb?

Update from his brother, James:
SIMON
no fireworks today..they have kept him under whilst they deal with a kidney complaint.physio reports improving lung situation..figures all good
To put a good spin on it, why bring him round to discomfort? They are happy he'll come round just fine and just tidying a few things up first.
Just seen this, get well soon SFB!
Nice to see SFB getting to the brow of the hill. Another couple of pedals..
We're all rooting for you, SfB. Come on, man!
Good news, hope your on the mend soon, once you're able to read this. Having said that I'm not sure you'll get through 9 pages of good will without a relapse. Hand on in there.
Having said that I'm not sure you'll get through 9 pages of good will without a relapse.
Never mind that, 9 pages on STW without a SINGLE ARGUMENT! 🙂
Keep fighting, SFB, keep fighting!
Never mind that, 9 pages on STW without a SINGLE ARGUMENT!
That's surely a situation which needs to be remedied - come on SFB, you're just the man for the job!
Get well soon.
I really can't believe I've just seen this post. Only picked it up from the cardiac thread.
I've been on many rides with Simon and this has been a real shock. I'm a few years older than Simon and you never know what's round the corner. Never thought about it until now but at least one of my regular riding friends is CPR trained.
All my best wishes to Simon & his family for a speedy recovery.
The lovely Pennine has just alerted me to this news, very shocking and thank god for those who knew CPR on the ride.
All the very best to you SFB for a speedy recovery.
I've only just seen this too. I only met him the once on a Boggies ride that was more a slide and land on your arse than an actual ride, but he seemed a great guy.
All the best for a speedy recovery!
Late to the party as ever, but just wanted to wish SFB the best for a speedy recovery. There are far too many good people getting injured and/or seriously ill this year...
+1.....always liked reading Mr Barnes. Best to you.
Get well soon SFB.
A few years ago my wife and I chanced on a poor soul down by the side of the road near Kippford. We administered CPR; sadly, we never got him back.
I know though (because his son told me the next day) that it gave the family a lot of comfort that someone had tried. You never know when you're going to either need to do it, or need it done to you.
Get well soon Mr B!
Update from his son on FB:
[i]Well dad is awake and fighting me and the nurses, he wants out. He hasn't changed a bit [/i]
Yep, sounds about right!
That's fantastic news.
Yay. Good to hear he's got his grumpy cantankerous old mojo back.
Great news. Wonder if he's asked for his camera to be brought in yet 😆
Great news. Someone hand him a camera.
Ahh that's great to hear. That good news has made my day!
Is he taking pics of the nurses bums yet? 🙂
Outstanding news. That's made my day.
Great news. He's beating the odds big time there. Again, best wishes to both him, his family and well done to the first aiders, first responders and other clinical teams that have done so brilliantly.
thats great news, up the Barnes!
do you reckon the doctors might sedate him again to get some peace? 😉
that's a nice start to the weekend.
that's good news 🙂
