    Great morning for a spin. Wasn't doing the Randonbut was on the route for a bit. Super to see so many cyclists out.

    Caught up with (see what I did there :)) a lad on a celeste/black Palace R coming into Enniskerry. - Your mate? Looked really nice

    Cheers lads. Unfortunately, slightly worse than I initially thought. Dislocated the AC joint so 6-8 weeks recovery. Collapsed lung too.
    Look, it could have been a lot worse if I hit the car or my head.

    I would like to say that up to that point I was having a good day. Climbing well, enjoying the sunshine,. Marshalling and all round organisation was absolutely amazing. Orwell really are a hell of a club. I'll be back next year

    More than likely, especially if he looked like he weighed as much as your leg :pac: He's only after buying a powermeter, was out FTP testing.

    Premature end. Tallaght hospital, dislocated shoulder. Currently waiting to have it popped back in. Touched wheels on Wicklow gap descent. Think the bike is OK, maybe rear mech needs looking at.
    Ah well, twas a great day up til that point.

    Speedy recovery to you. It sounds like that could have been a whole lot worse as well.

    Speedy recovery Daroxtar, hope the popping back in wasn't too painful and that you're back in the saddle soon. That bit of time where you're waiting for it to get popped back in is no fun at all.

    Edit: Just saw you're second post, bloody hell! FWIW, I dislocated both shoulders quite badly a couple of years back and found John Lunn in the Beacon to very good.
