    Came a cropper in the sprint in this morning's vets race. Knees were cut up a bit but he took the biggest bang to the head. I left him in the capable hands of his wife at the VHI Swiftcare Clinic - he may need some reconstructive surgery once she's finished with him!!

    He's heading off to A&E to get a nasty cut above the eye checked out. Suspect he'll be taking it easy for a while.

    Hope any plastic surgery delivers the face you want Rob, and that you get over this and back on the bike quickly. Speaking of the bike, that took a bit of a clout - I'm sure we'll get an update on condition in due course.

    Ouch. Facial cuts tend to look a lot nastier than they actually are so hopefully this is the case. Either way hopefully all will be well and the missus doesn't kill him altogether

    Well Rob, if you're given a choice between losing the bike, or losing the wife, I know which one I'd choose (the bike complains less).

    Hope you're back up and pedalling soon.

    That fooker will do anything to get a new bike!

    Thanks for helping him out Beasty!
    He was nagging me to go with him this morning but the bed was more appealing.

    Guess he will have to cancel his trip to Spain now!

    He's thinking of going in the "slow" group - with the intention of dropping the Lion of Fingal and that other one from your area....

    Suspect Richie's may see some business beforehand. His car's abandoned if anyone wants to claim it....

    Yes - he can't drive until things settle down a bit and most people from around here had their own cars. We'll sort something out over the next couple of days. His bike's in the back of the halpinator's car. His skinsuit is looking a little the worse for wear. Maybe you guys could do with a new design...

    The way the weather had turned I think he may have been thinking about the swim leg....

    We had a good 20 years, no shame in calling it a day if she makes me choose....

    koutobia - you're getting these threads all wrong. The idea is to pass on good wishes, not encourage them to shoot him.....





    :pac:

    no - it's that if you come into physical contact with him, you will crash within 24 hours.
