Bad End to the Cycling Season

I go for a ride to Pinhey's Point but on the way home slide out on a wet railway track, breaking my acetabulum. Two hospitals later I recover from surgery, returning home 17 days later. I should be back on the bike next year.

Thanks Derek, it was doubly disappointing in that I had all my gear ready for a 5 day camping/cycling tour to Kingston scheduled for 2 weeks later on my brand new touring bike.

Oh well, c'est la vie. Starting physiotherapy on the 17th so I shouldn't gripe. From now on I walk over railway crossings.

Darling, PLEASE leave your camera going next time you wipe out. It would so much more exciting for your friends to actually see the accident.

So glad to see you're healing well. Primarily thanks to all your hard work!

Any cyclists nightmare. I hope it doesn't deter you from further ventures. Got to get right back in the saddle as they say. In the meantime enjoy your recuperation and get well soon my friend.
