Hope the remainder of the ride was incident free & everybody behaved themselves. Apart from Bbanger who I'm sure tried taking you to some deep dark forbidden forest. 09map

Ian looked to be OK as he was calling the shots from the back of the ambulance. 09doctor He works at the Matter hospital & talked the paramedics into taking him there so he can jump out of the ward Monday morning & go straight into work.

Some people are dedicated to their jobs, but that's extreme Ian (or Vic on here). I think he'll be resting his head for a few days after trying to excavate the creek bank with it. 09sick

Hope the memory returns to normal soon except the bit just before/after the deep brown murky water. mtbdirt2

We have your car here at our place Ian & your bike which appeared to be in perfect working order (due to throwing yourself under it to save it) is still with the Albany Creek police. We should be able to pick it up tomorrow for you & re-unite you with them both.

Ian's sister was going to visit him at the Matter later tonight & make sure all is well. We'll let you know how things pan out.

Zep thanks for looking after all Ian's stuff, I'm sure he will really appreciate it. The rest of the ride wasn't entirely incident free - one of the 29er Giant riders cracked his frame at the intersection of the top tube and seat post, so he had a long walk back from Blue Hills drive as well. Seems BBangers rides may start to get a reputation with carnage like this - one carried away in an ambulance and another bike walked home. We started out with 11 and finished the ride with 6...

Ian glad to hear you are on the road to recovery and look forward to seeing you out on the tracks again soon. I think the chap/Bill you referred to is actually a gal/Squirrel, who with Zep dropped out of the ride to go and take care of your car and contact your sister, etc.

Hmmm... I just did a google of "Giant XTC frame cracked" and "Giant Anthem frame cracked" and there are lots of reports of them cracking in the same place. There was even a voluntary recall of 2011 Anthems due to this problem - http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/11/bikes-and-tech/giant-recalls-2011-anthem-29ers_149381

I bet next year sees that gussetted or a new top tube design. I think I'll stick with steel just the same though. Wink
