But it goes to show how just about everything can get thrown at you during an event like this and it's just a matter of dodging it until your luck runs out....but that's why we do it
Lee Walters? Very quick, I watched him disappear into the distance in front of me before I quit on day two. His whole bike stance was just so agressive (in a good way). Spectacular! Had a nice chat with him at the start.
Flippin 'eck! I guess when he said he could feel bone sticking out we should have taken him seriously!
Must have been in some pain, but still finished the lap (some 30 odd miles and two further falls) and then rode home to the farmhouse.
Hope you feel better soon Jochen. If you need anything - just ask.
o.k - maybe not life threatening, but F*CK: thats SORE!
been there / done that - got the posture
Take Care of it or you'll end up with the pose of an orang utang!

Well i was dead jelous looking at the photos and desperately wishing i had been able to make it. But now on hearing the increasing list of carnage and injuries part of me is breathing a sigh of relief.
Indeed i think Loz's tips for collar bones might go like this;
1) DONT break it in the first place..
2) Lots of painkillers
3) Lots of alcohol to numb the pain
4) Dont try sleeping on a camping mat.
5) DONT break it in the first place..
