MAN DOWN

Unfortunately I have to report another man down.

Phil Pullinger was collected by an 'old guy in a ute' who turned in front of him while we was cycling in the north eastern suburbs last Thursday. Phil was travelling around 35 in a straight line, old mate (clearly in a rush to Specsavers) turns out in front of him, and despite Phil's best avoiding action, he collected the tray and fell onto his shoulder.

He has a grade three AC joint injury to his right shoulder, which looks likely to require surgery to correct.

We've had a run of signficant injuries in recent months, with a common theme of drivers failing to use their eyes.

I'm sure all of BG and friends will join me in wishing Phil a speedy recovery and being back on the bike soon.
