Ric and two sons Jack & George out on a 50 mile training ride last night, had a nasty 20mph+ crash which could have put one/all of them out of the event. 3 man peleton with Ric at front working well, but jack on 2nd wheel a bit too close (ie <2"), wheels touched, Jack hit the deck hard, george hit jack & went flying over bars....now we know what its like Brad !!!
George finished about 15m further up road than Jack! and at first we thought collar bone had gone, but after a few minutes he was back on bike riding home. Jack less fortunate. His burly frame had just cuts & bruises, but the bike was less fortunate with bent rear mech & handlebar hoods. Bike now gone to local "Bike Hospital" for emergency repairs
The good news was that all 3 rode at a very comfortable pace keeping HR well under threshold, but still managed to average 18 mph
