Dave was out today with Colin Amor

Dave apparently ran into the back of a car as he was approaching Henley in A.

He was taken to Redditch Hospital with a cut face only as far as Colin could tell.

All I could get was voice mail on his phone.

Luckily only a minor cut needing 4 stitches.

Think I was very lucky: probably blacked out briefly due to dehydration and ++ dilated blood vessels from the heat and pretty tired legs reducing venous return. I'd had 750ml of fluid but it was a very hot day* and we'd done 38 miles only to find the Carriages Cafe closed.
Must have been a good bang as the bike frame is bent!


* apparently the hottest July day on record.
I remember being OK doing 20 miles at 46 degrees C in Melbourne a couple of years ago. Though I did hide in the bushes stripped to my undies for 20 minutes to cool down.
