Some of you will know that Chris Wilkes had a nasty fall on the medium ride on Sunday. It was at that funny double left turn at Souldern. Here is the message I just received from Chris - the good news is that he is OK, albeit with a frustrating injury, and will be back on the bike in a couple of months.
hello julian, having failed to find my way onto the forum i hope i can send a message this way. just a note to thank you for keeping me company while i waited to be rescued on sunday. it was much appreciated.
diagnosis for me: neck of humerus broken, three months off games, no tour of corsica, learn to do everything one-handed, eg type with one finger
diagnosis for bike: large thorn in tyre, rapid puncture shortly before i went down, no burst or we'd have heard it, just bad luck that it coincided with turning sharply; a few seconds later and i'd have noticed the flat and stopped. no other damage to bike.
happy cycling. hope to be back (at leisure pace!) late may
Hi all, I had a chat with Chris this morning, he tells me that the fracture he sustained is more complicated than first thought. Subsequently Chris has stoically resigned himself to the fact that he will be off the road/golf course for some time to come.
Pete

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
