Man down :-(

Thanks for the update M_M_T_M.

Apparently the ambulance from Lancaster to Blackpool went all the way on footpaths

I’m guessing they wanted to avoid him spinning in his grave on the stretcher 🙂

Best wishes for a full recovery to one of the more insightful posters here.

Best wishes.

Best wishes.

Crikey. 🙁
Speedy recovery to you SFB.

what everyone else has already said

Always enjoyed your photo’s. Wish you well and amen to the to people that kept you going.

Well done to the Bogtrotters, their actions further underscore the value of some proper first aid training.

And of course here’s hoping all turns out for the best for Simon and I look forward to some photos of nurse’s arses

For those asking about CPR and “what would I do”, there is a great free app for smartphones by St John’s Ambulance. Contains lots of scenarios you might encounter (including CPR) and has visual and audio information as what to do. If you own a smartphone and take it out riding than worth a look IMO.

Best wishes from afar, never good to hear but sounds like you had the right people at the right time.

Hats off to the people who kept him going until the paramedics arrived and best wishes on a swift recovery

Is it appropriate to have a cheeky bum shots thread in his honour? 😀

Get well soon sfb.

Well done to all those involved.
Best wishes and fingers crossed for a full and speedy recovery.

You know what, it wouldn’t hurt to go on such a course. I might look into it.

Get well soon Simon

Get well soon .
never met you , but enjoyed looking at your photos & routes many times.
Shamefully ,I have also sniggered at the bum shots too.

Get well soon Simon.
I’ve enjoyed your pics and liberal views on cheeky trails over the years:-)

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

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.
