Very little damage to me
I’ve been very lucky with this small crash - I’ve escaped with relatively minor bruises and grazes compared to Patrick’s broken leg! But it still blasted well hurts!
I’m sure it will heal very quickly but I can’t wait for the shoulder bruising to sort itself out - It doesn’t look much but the whole shoulder […]

Down but not out
I don’t know what’s going on with us lot recently but as Patrick has already said I had an off this evening. A corsa behind me felt that stopping at traffic lights was optional.
I’m now hurting quite a lot - bruised chest from going through my windscreen, bad ankle and knees but according to medical […]

So all set for the Weekend….
Just had a call from Matt. I was at the hospital today for a check-up on my leg (more on this later) and he tells me he’s sitting by the side of the road having been rear ended by a car on the North Circular on his way home!
He says he’s okay though. He’s in […]

Bank holiday weekend means 4 days in the saddle
I’m going to take the opportunity to try 4 days in the saddle this weekend - the tent will go up and down 4 times, and I’ll do 180 + miles each day - the idea being of course, to simulate the kind of milage and day to day activities Russia will see us face. […]

Home again…
Well I’m not one for cliches but it’s certainly been an eventfull week not only for JTR but especially me. If you haven’t heard already (tongue firmly in cheek seeing how Matt has gone into Fleet Street overdrive…) I’ve broken a bone in my leg and ruptured some ligaments in my ankle. A nice balance. […]

Home safe and sound
Well that’s it. Patrick is home safe and sound - he’s got his leg up in the air and a dog that is really happy to see him!
We’re all very relieved that the man himself is home, and we’re crossing everything for a speedy recovery so he can get straight back on the bike.
Hopefully […]

Patrick out tomorrow
Patrick is still feeling a little groggy after all his meds, which isn’t very nice at all. He’s up and about on crutches, which is very positive news, but still feeling under the weather. I think it’s all catching up with him now and he’s starting to feel a little poorly, which is to be […]

1 plate, 7 screws!
Patrick has a dirty great big slab of metal in his leg - 1 metal plate with 7 screws holding it in. We’ve been down to see him this afternoon and he’s in fine spirits! Took him some reading material, and some fresh strawberrys.
Also been glad to hear that you can get over this […]

2 pins and a plate
The news is in - Patrick’s operation has gone well.
There was some ligament damage and it sounds as if more pins were needed than initially thought. But the important thing is that the operation went well and with any luck our fellow traveller will be out tomorrow - crutches and plaster complete.
The only problem […]

Operation this morning
Patrick is heading down for an operation this morning to pin the bone, and see if there’s any damage to his ligament.
We’re all crossing everything here that it’s nothing more simple than a pin, if it’s a plate then Russia may be off for him. It’s something none of us want, but if anyone […]
