Bad news

As some of you know I binned myself last weekend, thought I was OK but it turns out I have a fractured patella. To cut a long story short after a long talk with the wife I've decided to call it a day with the biking, with the kids, work etc I really cannot afford to wreck myself again.

So I'll be selling the bike soon, details to follow, but for now I am obviously gutted as these last few years have been some of the best ever.

Not really up to saying much more for now. Gutted.
Sorry to hear that Don mountain biking as we do it is a fine ballancing act between work and family needs.If you do sell your bike and fancy coming out on social spins etc dont hesitate to ask for loan of bike i nearly always have spare one running.Keep in touch with us all by coming up to club league etc and enjoy the bingo in newhown
Aha...! Looks like I've been set up...! Should have seen that one coming a mile off...

Good one Donald...
Anyway what were you doing talking to your wife ,especially about biking always leads to trouble.

Hi Don, have discussed it with my Wife and we might be interested in purchasing your bikes and kids, but you can keep your work. Can you post more details.
