is that horse shoe lane or bastard lane as its more commonly know, by the golf club?

It is mate although I wasn't there for that one, i had other commitments in Machynlleth
Gary broke his rib on a landrover bumper there though

Yep, spent most of the day in NHS waiting rooms today only to be told what I already knew really (sadly from experience ) that I fractured a rib Saturday - something about cartlidge damage was mentioned, but wasn't really listening

But when she started on about 'bronchial drains' I legged it with the painkillers a bit quick

Not the end of the world though, as told about 4 weeks should see it right

Oh shite !!!! Think u need the emu oil more than gareth shocker. The drains are if u get fluid on the lung from the break. They used a big syringe on me into the lung to drain it out 

Shit news Gary, speedy recovery mate.

Oh dear Gaz , which armchair you sleeping in ?

I think they are moithering because I've already got a version of Farmers Lung, and had CT scans etc. last week that showed I've also got a ruptured diaphragm

The draining they spoke of involved being bent over a big pillow etc. (I ain't kidding here ) to get the lungs low enough to drain if too painful to cough to avoid infection

Do know that the 98 mile road ride home Sunday gave me a bit too much time to think about my current hobby though!

You've obviously done the same thing at some point!

Oh bollox mate - rib pain and a cough aint good I know !!!

dont give up mate - summers coming we're sure to have some nice flowing rides without all the "smashing against rocks" lanes

holy shit.
ouch

hurt my rib a few years ago, hurt when i coughed.
laxatives were the perfect remedy.
your too frightened to cough after taking them!
