Such a dissapointment for Harpo,hopefully there'll be less pain on my face than at last year's reccie(and more power in the legs!)

[Jason T]

Has anyone got Gregs number to see how he is?

[Greg B]

Im ok thanks nothing broken apart from my handlebar! My hip and ribs are hurting though, going to be awkward getting into bed tonight! Im gutted though as i usually take 6 weeks to recover from rib injuries in the past.

[Jason T]

Glad it's nothing more serious, at least you'll have the summer to ride if all heals Ok.

I made the mistake a few years ago of heading out with broken ribs and ended up pulling them, ultimately adding a few more weeks recovery so best to take it easy.

[Andy S]

Good to hear your OK(ish!) Greg
And Jason surely you've been going some secret training(or is it all that EPO those orthopaedic surgeons gave you!?)

[Nige]

All,

firstly glad your OK Greg...Many thanks to all today you got me through my first OVW ride and first ton up ride of the year. Well done to the guys on front.Hope I didnt slow you down too much. Had a puncture at the 100 mile point first in a long time!!!

Great ride relaxing in the garden with a beer now. See you Friday.

[Andy S]

I've got ton envy😂

[Paul Nicholas]

Well done Nigel good riding. Glad you're not too badly injured Greg, I thought you did well to correct yourself after the slide on the manhole cover but it just positioned you badly for the corner. Gutted.

I had to turn off with Mark at Caerphilly as I was feeling a bit weird, as Mark pointed out even though I thought a Cliff Bar, Protein Flapjack, and a Gel constituted eating a load of food it's not really enough when you're riding 100 miles. After stuffing a costa cookie in my face and a bit of a delirious moment on the climb up to the bypass I felt almost human again. Rucksack full of bacon sandwiches for me in 2 weeks time, and hopefully the wind will get behind us at some point!

Thanks for organising Andy
