I was at the scene of a really nasty off today up on Holmbury. I wonder if anyone knows anyone who knows the group and can tell me if the young lady is OK?

Bump
What happened?
Doh wrong post!!
Where on Holmbury ?
A group of Four South africans two guys, two girls and she hit a waterbar at speed and took a major header over the bars. Was really awful. Paramedics and the helicopter out. I talked in the ambulance while they were looking after her and I just wanted to check she was OK, really nasty off, no blood thank goodness but she really was a worry as she knocked herself sparko...About 200 meters from car park 9.
Bump as I've still heard nothing.
i'll ask the guys i know down there
Thanks. The guy from all biked up was there and may know more than me.
I was there shortly after it happened as I was coaching just up from the spot but no news on how she is - fingers and toes all moving before she left but pretty heavy impact. Thankfully she had a lid on or it would have been very different.
This may seem a random question, but did you see what bike, or even the colour of bike, she was riding? This fits the description of a friend of mine who regularly rides up Holmbury. A couple of us have texted her but not had any response.
Cheers.
she was on a black speciaized and I think her name was Elise..
Thanks for letting me know. It's not the person I thought it might be.
I hope she's OK - I get chills thinking back to my mate's big stack in 2001 when I had to carry him and his bike back up a hill to the road, and then find a house to call an ambulance. I don't ride off-road solo anymore because of the fear of incapacitating myself in the middle of nowhere.
got to admit to taking it a bit easier on that ride..
any further news?
