Community,

I am a fortunate man. Crashed into the back of a car that stopped on a narrow blind corner on  to swerve an oncoming bus as I floated down a mountain pass. Whatever reaction time I had and my helmet saved my life.

Back in the warm lap of Mama Afrika for ongoing recovery after a few days in a Spanish hospital. Went straight from the airport to see my doctor for integrative care on the weekend. I will recover fully. 
Be safe out there, julle.

Ouch! Glad you're ok. 

Any concussion / concussion symptoms? A couple of the World Cup DH riders have had crashes recently and had to sit out races due to the after effects.

that looks nasty, hows the neck?

Eina! When a helmet looks like that, you sure came to a sudden stop! Sorry that your trip ended up in hospital, but as a pilot friend once said, any "landing" you walk away from was a "good" one! Heal quickly Dale!

Sorry to hear that.
That is not how you wanted to finish your holiday.
Glad you are (mostly) OK. Be careful with that recovery and pay attention to any concussion symptoms.
Hope you are back on your bike soon!

Rental bike with my brooks saddle and my pedals - I’m absolutely in love with bike 1085 

3 x 9 shimano and rides like a dream and incredibly comfortable  - makes me wonder why I ride such a fancy bike

Starting to lose track of what island I’ve been on 

but a lovely national park with an estuary and beautiful bike paths around a monastery

First time at Hoogekraal this morning.
