This morning whilst travelling to work after serious withdrawals of a week of no biking due to weather conditions, unfortunately triple1 did a triple summersault over a car. Traffic stood still (of which I was waiting in the queue), Mark came past filtering through and some idiot decided to try and beat the queue and turn round, unfortunately didn't check mirrors nor indicate and wiped Mark out throwing him through the air. Fortunately Mark wears a back protector and all the full kit so was very fortunate in that he amazingly has no broken bones, he's very achey but very lucky.  Doctors said the kit had practically saved him from severe injuries.  bike not quite as fortunate and being a typical biker the first question he asked was - how's the bike!! Just to emphasise how important the correct gear is for biking as I am sure most of you know better than me as a pilly rather than rider at the mo!  Take care out there it's a crazy jungle.                                                                                                                                                                             

And the voting for the tumbling routine: 7.5 for technical ability and 8.0 for artistic impression.

Seriously though, I hope he's better soon and more importantly back on two wheels as he's gonna be a nightmare till he's out there again.

Thinkin bowt you mate.
