Inside info say's broken leg, will be talking to Alan tomorow, and I'll get the details.

Badly broken femur. Alan was wearing all the gear which did it's job well and emergency services did a good job too. Nice lady in a VW pulled over, she was actually a gynaecologist, she checked his bits and was the source of some much needed advice (and humour) while we waited for the ambo.

Weaver has a 43cm rod in his leg now. And a chipped heal (TBC by cat scan on Monday)

BTW, has anybody noticed that Buckbuck came along and gave the TRTNR some essence of Wednesday? Is Weaver's off a coincidence?

I'd say BB jinxed him, or in my absence, Allan was out front and got bored waiting for everyone, lost concentration and crashed. Just my opinion.

I have been to visit Weaver twice today (see my posts on the other thread here ). Alan initiated talk of why he crashed and said pretty much the same as Deano wrote above, but accidents happen quickly and he is not exactly sure about the details.

There have been numerous times that I have slowed down because I felt my concentration or safety margin was not the best. It can happen to any of us at any time. Lets be careful out there - especially on the Rimutaka road, its a fun route to take but there have been plenty of accidents by by bikes and cars.
