I had arranged to go out for ride with Rod on Sunday as weather forecast was good. Matt had the same idea and sent an email to see if anyone fancied a rideout.
We met at Rods house at 10.30am. After brief chat , it was suggested that a trip to Sweet Hedges for a cuppa would be fine . The 3 of us set off after Matts Speed Twin was finally started( as usual!) Rod on the Kwacka and Trev on his Enfield.
Matt led us through Grafton Underwood and Geddington, crossing the A43 and making our way to Rushton, Pipewell, and East Carlton. We ended up riding alongside the Eyebrook reservoir, arriving at SweetHedges for refreshment – it was very busy with all the Sunday cyclists.
Feeling revived we made our returning journey via Hallaton, Medbourne and Nevill Holt., then retracing our steps back to Cranford heading for Matts for tea and rock cakes.
Approaching Finedon on the A 510 we came across a lady cyclist laying in the road having fallen from her bike, her husband was at her side. We stopped immediately and Matt commenced Florence Nightingale actions whilst an ambulance was called. She was unconscious with a nasty head injury.
Meanwhile Rod and Trev took charge of Traffic control- encouraging gawpers to move on!
Paramedics arrived followed by an Ambulance. They took their time to deal with patient who by now thankfully was conscious. Matts hi viz jacket was now covered in blood as he had removed it to place under the lady’s head. The medical team thanked us for our assistance and took her to KGH.
By this time Rod realised that he should make his way home otherwise he would be in trouble, so no tea and rock cakes today!.
Trev.
Well done lads. Your actions are a credit to you and bikers in general.
Lets hope the lady involved makes a good recovery and you all get your tea and rock cakes soon.
