Glad to hear your ok...... Hope you heal fast, a question to anyone who has broken their collarbone... what happens if your on a solo ride, and you break your collarbone 25 KM snip ....maybe it's 'cos I'm an 'old dad' but this is exactly why I'd never consider a solo ride.... An accident is just that, totally unexpected. It can easily throw you into a situation where you end up unconscious. Rare, I know, but nevertheless. A broken collarbone is probably one of the least problematic things you could experience following an accident 25km from civilisation. I don't want to be responsible for a massive mobilisation of emergency services, trying to locate me, through my own foolhardiness, when there might be a genuine need for their services elsewhere....

There is a slight dent observable in my helmet. I'll probably get it replaced. I got them back today (along with the rest of my gear) from jeepers who live about 35 miles away from me. The cooperation and thoughtfulness among them was stellar, from setting up radio relays to providing me a blanket, pillow, food, water, and a steady supply of ice. One lady stood over me just to keep the sun out of my eyes. TD Welcome to the club. That was quite an adventure. Sorry it had to happen, but you'll heal. Paladin |

I would agree with you normally, but it's awkward because I have no-one to ride with in my area. 99% of my rides are solo but not through choice. sniff -- Westie |
