well a good ride up to our coffee break at jingleby. We had ridden from the Rosette and done just under 30 miles, 6 of us up to Dalby where we were joined by vaugh.

Then disaster. As we left the forest via Bickley Gate, keith jamieson crashed off his bike. He hit some leaves at the bottom corner and twisted over his bike, hitting his head and landing heavily on his hip. Rex just managed to stop in time and stay on his bike whilst braking hard to avoid riding into Keith. That was pretty much ride over. “it's broken” said keith. We flagged down a passing car, the driver lived near by so Vaugh followed him and used his land line to call the ambulance. I managed to redeem myself after the last club crash and got everyone to put their coats on Keith and i gave his my camel back to lie on. The ambulance was there in no time but it took forever to get Keith stabilized. The air ambulance had been called and circled above us for a while. Anne and i waved like mad but it was not until we opened the gate into the field we expected them to land in they realized we weren't just being friendly. Another long wait until Keith was in as little pain as possible and then off the James Cook hospital. Everyone of us riders worked well together , Keith was calm and in good spirits. The ambulance crew were happy to get a proper job to do and the pilot was very handsome! The air doctor looked about 12! In total 6 professional were on hand to get keith sorted as soon as possible, it was so very impressive. Passers by were so kind, one chap even leaving his coat to help keep keith warm. Not a good first club road ride for me, but good to meet the Sunday crew. If they don't think im some sort of jinx i will be back! 

We all wish keith a speedy recovery. I will speak to his wife Susan for updates on his recovery.

Well done all today….It was abit scary….Kieth was very brave… I hope he gets through this quickly and we can see him out on the road again soon. Debi please keep us updated on the situation. Rex.
