Tuesday crash
Many thanks to all who stopped after the crash at Henderson/Lansdowne. The crash was the result of a mechanical problem. I was at the back of the A2 group and as I accelerated through the turn my chain slipped off the big ring, I was also transferring into a stand position at the time. This caused the bike to fall strongly to the kerbside. I brought down ex-UVic rower Alex too. I am ok, lots of road rash but nothing broken. Alex seems the same. The TS attitude epitomizes what a wonderful caring group of riders we have. Thanks all.
Re: Tuesday crash
Very glad to hear nothing is broken for the two of you. We all know how strong rowers and marathon runners are, so a little bit of soreness and road rash won't slow you down. Take a couple days off, rest up and I hope your recovery is a quick one. Kudos to Craig for taking the important first step in heading back down to the corner to ensure incoming riders ( and cars ) knew that there had been an incident.
