Flying Dodo
It'll soon be summer
I don't know why, but that pose reminds me of something from Shakespeare. Very noble.
Greg is indeed a very tough cookie. When I'd cycled back up the hill after a motorist saw us waiting in Great Missenden and told us there'd been an accident, I saw a scene of carnage with concerned cyclists, a slightly scraped fixie, a big pool of blood on the tarmac and an efficient rapid response ambulance man getting out equipment.
Greg meanwhile was sat on the kerb, blood dripping over his eyes and down his face, apologising for spoiling the ride.
The ambulance chap tried to make a point that everyone else had a helmet and Greg didn't although I commented that I didn't either. Maybe bad roads or riding fixed on a steep downhill were more of a problem. Who knows - stuff happens.
The fact he was making jokes as he got into the ambulance was a good sign and it was good to get the updates from Simon about his progress.
GWS Greg.
