If anyone insists on lifting the front wheel - finger on the rear brake is key...

That's my take away from this mess.

brake lever? 

major broken bones can only be worse when paired with lots of blood everywhere haha????

All the best with the recovery Robbie... I guess an unavoidable part of our sport/hobbie ????

May there be zero complications and good pain management, @RobbieStewart. Happens so fast, yoh.

Damn!!! Speedy recovery @Robbie Stewart A buddy of mine had a knee op in June. He is recovering slowly and is miserable cause he cant ride.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I'm glad the injury is not as bad as it could have been. I am definitely not taking my fortune for granted. Knees and femurs are way worse. I am going to be taking it much calmer on the bike from here on out as at my age (45) fast recovery is no longer a given.

54 ......... be careful when lighting your birthday cake candles, and have a fire extinguisher on hand with your local fire dept. on speed dial should things go south!

Locals will know where this is, and the possibly “the special”. Another lekker endurance ride on a cracker day, weather-wise.

The very best banana breads ever were made by my Great Gran.

I have been on a long search for anything that comes close to what my GG would make.

My Gran and my mother have also tried my GG's recipe, but only my wife has come anywhere close to how she used to make it. I actually told her this morning that this loaf was pretty much as good as what my GG used to make.

She nearly shed a tear knowing just how great that loaf was.

So funny story...My wife had her childhood friend visit over the weekend. As I was heading out the door I hear her say to her mate "hy weet as hy val moet hy nie vir my bel nie"....

If it will make you feel any better, the last time I needed to have the orthopedics put together a broken shoulder, my wife told me to Uber myself to theatre because she was too busy at work (also at a hospital). She did come and fetch me afterwards though, said she was worried I'd order an Uber to some weird place in a half drugged state! ????So, I suppose she still loves me!????

My wife is allowed to visit me daily between 3 - 4. She came Sunday and could not or would not make eye contact. She can't come anymore as there's no one to look after our 3 y.o. then. I am definitely in the dog box at the moment. I reckon I'm gonna have to come up with ingenious ways to make things better. Roses ain't gonna cut it this time round.
