I would like to say a BIG thank you to all who helped me when i took my little tumble on my first, and unfortunately only, lap.

I am typing this very slowly with one finger of my left hand as after a further visit to hospital this morning, I am now in plaster from fingers to shoulder.

An Especially BIG thank you to Andy, team no. 212 (i think) i have never been good with numbers, who stayed with me until the medics arrived. I'm really sorry I ruined your lap and I hope you had ear protectors on under your helmet.

To Cliff for getting help so quickly and the medics who put up with my drivel due to that wonderful laughing gas - where can I get some more?

No thanks to Steve though for taking pictures in the ambulance - I hadn't brushed my hair and had just taken a helmet off!!! But I hear that you were responsible for retrieving my bike, so I just might forgive the photo

And thanks to everybody who came up to wish me well on my return from hospital. It was much appriciated.

However, every cloud has a silver lining. My hubby Gary didn't get to ride with team 19 due to my accident. So Sam, Ray and Martin - you owe any success to me!
