Thanks to those who came to my rescue.....

Sunday morning enjoying a ride up towards Kalamunda, taking a well-earned drink after Welshpool Rd East. Lost concentration or something, hit the kerb. Next thing I knew I was on the ground rather sore with lots of very helpful people helping me out, a couple of cyclists, three or four locals and a couple of passing drivers, re-affirming my faith in human nature. If the cyclists (or any other helpers) are reading this, I'd like to say a big thank you for your help, care and support. Just got out of hospital with a fractured shoulder and rib and a couple of burgers on head and shoulder. Thankfully I was wearing a helmet (now badly cracked and lacerated).
Wherever you're cycling, take care.

Glad to hear you are on the mend. It is great to read that assistance was offered.
Mend quickly!

sorry to hear about the injuries and the resulting pain but also glad you are on the mend, And great to hear your positive attitude, no doubt you will be back on the bike soon

Those kerbs are like magnets... I've been sucked towards them many a times.

You stupid idiot :wink:

Hmmm...must have hit my head harder than I thought - it was Orstraya Day. I did think while grinding up Welshpool Rd (plenty of time for thinking up the hill) that it would be a real dumb thing to do to crash because I'd booked a very active holiday in February - doh!
Must get some more painkillers and sit in front of the fan....

Bugger dude. Hope the ribs and shoulder heal well...and you get your memory back
