georgedup Posted March 17, 2014 Share Hi Guys, I Just want to thank shaun Peters as well as Bronwyn who works at Meerendal for helping me After my big fall out on the Burry Stander section yesterday. We ride Meerendal Often and it wasnt a case of not knowing the trail or not having the skill to ride it.Had a dip and the bike jackknifed and i went over the handle bars still clipped in.Took a fall straight onto my shoulder and my head.Cracked helmet and broken coller bone.Thanks guys for fetching me on the trail. Also a Big Thanks to CRAIG PEPPER!!!!!He stopped immediately and took my spare tube and made a sling and secured my arm in position.He cut his ride short to help a fellow mountain biker in need and allot of pain and i think he should be commended for that.If anyone can give me a contact number for him i would like to thank him in person. Status report: Broken collerbone with a possible surgery on the way... and off the bike for at least 6 weeks...As shaun also mentioned, be safe out there. Thank you Mackem, jules1976, Adrian Fogg and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Landy new life Posted April 17, 2014 Share Know what you mean - I took six months to heal from getting Titanium Pins in my hip from not escaping my cleats.Now I ride with toe straps, much safer. Then not a year later I cracked a scapula but this only took 6 weeks before I could race again. http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee420/Landy1973/2012-09-30101547.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
