Some of you may remember that back in November last year I posted a thread about fracturing my pelvis on a trail and being rescued and looked after by three great riders.
Big thanks to my rescuers at Porridgepot

And followed that up with an update
Finally signed off by the hospital and back on the bike

I've been wanting to meet up with my rescuers and take them for a beer and a curry for some time but due to work, holidays, covid it's taken a time to arrange.
However, last night I managed to sort it out and we met over at Farnborough.

Thanks all..... Yes, it was great being able to meet them all again and thank them. It's strange really in that I was in their company for 2 hours + being rescued to safe ground then waiting for the ambulance and although we sort of chatted throughout whilst I was laying on the ground it was all a bit surreal and my conversational skills must have been somewhat limited.

Seeing them yesterday in a normal social environment was nice.

What can I say folks.... I thought I should do this update given all the kind comments on my earlier threads on my demise. 😱 to complete the saga.   But thanks again for all the nice comments which really apply to the three musketeers., They really are appreciated.

Something I should have added... when I thanked the guys again last night, they all totally downplayed their help and what they did... and said "anyone would have done the same"

Are they on here? Obviously not looking for limelight but hopefully they are reading this post and get an idea of how excellent they are.

Amazing. Slightly annoyed that you look way younger than me and I'm in my 40s (just) 😀
