Cycling UK Forum

I urgently need your help. My good friend David Larrington is in hospital in France at the moment. He was taking part in the PBP ride when he passed out 200km from the finish. The only thing he has on him is is route sheet and his cycling clothes. He doesn't know what happened to his recumbent or any of his personal belongings. Other Brits taking part in the ride were Charlotte Barnes, Mark Hummerstone, Philip Norman and Garry Broad. I need their contact numbers, so that maybe they can check up on him.

David and I are CTC members, so I was hoping someone here could maybe help. Another thing which would help is if someone has a contact number either for Audax UK or someone official (and English speaking) of the PBP organisation.

Thank you, Christina

Oh dear.

Some of these riders have been posting on the ACF Board.

I've taken the liberty of posting your message over there.
Let's hope someone can respond.

Thanks for that. I spoke to Dave earlier and he said I should try and post on there, but when you register, they have to approve you first.

Tupelo, you have a PM!

I've pm'd some other numbers aswell and I have just sent a text to Charlotte who is out there to try and contact Peter Marshall who speaks fluent French and is high ranking in AUK.
Cheers

Hi everyone,

just wanted to thank everyone who helped and let you know that things are sorted now.

Mark Hummerstone got in touch with Dave at the hospital, and also their insurance company, and organised for Dave's tent to be picked up.

Another friend managed to get hold of a local marshall, who confirmed that Dave's recumbent is safe and that he is going to pop round to the hospital to visit Dave.

Dave's totally happy that there are so many people out there looking out for him. I also spoke to his family and they're all mightily relieved.

Thanks again, Christina
