RR: My ride on Sunday



M

MikeJ

Guest
I went offroad with my local offroad club, on the way round there was
a hill. I had real trouble up this hill, and I fell off breaking my
wrist :(

I am not allowed to cycle or drive for 6 weeks (one of which is when
we are going on holiday - fortunately we are going with my inlaws and
my father in law is driving)

On the ride today, when I had hurt myself and couldn't cycle, they
said do you want to bail out and left me (I had to walk all the way
home)

Gits.

Mantra:

Must keep hands on handlebars when falling over (if possible).

Sounds to me as if you need to find some new riding companions. Lame
move leaving a hurt rider to fend for themself.

Hope the recovery goes well.

Yeah, only roadies do that. Even the shuttlemonkeys stop to help
injured riders.

Something doesn't add up. Subject says ride on Sunday; then he talks about
the ride "today" (posted on 8/1). No group that I know would just say "see
ya" and leave an injured rider to walk home.

Something doesn't add up.

You have a point. The guys I ride with would have killed him and eaten
him.

forgot to edit that bit, but I all happened on Sunday. Its not that
easy to work comupters with one hand.

Unless you told them to go (and seemed ok) that's pretty lame.

I agree, I would always accompany the person out. Unless, of course as said
they "insisted" all was OK.

Sure will (wouldn't go out with them if they were the last on earth),
I will post my e-mail to them, and their reply (if any) here.
