So on Saturday I did my most spectacular fall to date. I hit a speedbump at 60km/h at the back of Valhalla during a group ride. A lady who lives close by saw the fall and phoned her husband who promptly came to my assistance. The gentleman loaded our bikes and took my wife and I to the Little Company of Mary hospital. He wouldnt leave until the doctor had examined me and even wanted to take our bikes to my house! So to ANDRE JOUBERT who didnt know us from a bar of soap, a huge thanks from everyone in the group, and I would almost be so bold to say from all cyclists. I certainly am hugely indebted to you.

Nick and Denise Dekker and all of the Fanie Fourie group.

Well done, André Joubert. :clap: :clap:

Good on ya for posting it, NickD. You OK!?

Thanks Wannabe!

I am fine, incredibly blessed. Apparantly I did a full summie and landed flat on my back and backside, then rolled a couple of times. Some roasties and a stiff left bum but I rode on Sunday and again today. Just as lucky with the bike which landed upside down on the saddle, writing off the saddle in the process, ripping the body off the rails. Some small scratches on the levers and the rear derailleur.

I am grateful.
