If it doesn't rain I'll be doing the Upminster to Ingrebourne Hill again at 7ish.

Russell, looks like we may be out now... I'll definitely be going out...

Hi all,
Had a run in or should I say run through a works barrier yesterday.
I am as battered as the the barrier . (It is in bits on the floor.)
It lowered on my head . I protected the bike as best I could .Fortunately I was on my expensive road bike .
Will not be out tonight either.

hope you aren't too bruised and battered!

Hi,
Looking to geet a replacement bike /hat / clothes and injuries claim/ so no comment....
I am at work visiting the medical as and when neccessary.
Wish I could get a video of it as it could of gone viral on the web.
Got witnesses and a bits of gate to prove it all.
It was like a level crossing gate with the swinging bits under the bar.
Good job I had my helmet on (racing one .) deflected it onto the rest of me and the bike .
I am now a gate crasher -good for parties . P... is being taken out of me at work but I am always up for a laugh anyway.
Looking forward to a Large Bacon sarnie in July....
I could do a re inactment at Rainham Railway stn.

Hi mate hope all is well!&you get it sorted out!did the barrier start to come down on you or did you hit it head on?

Hi .
It came down when I was under it.
I was past the security hut and the guard must have looked up the road and reacted not seeing me.
It certainly has made the week go by quicker.
I am on nights again this week so seeing stars does not give a ture idea of if I am suffering or not.
LOL
I get the gate opened well in advance of me arriving now . Getting treated better than a MP. house the house of commons............
