‘Gravitas’… breaking news!!
‘Gravitas’… breaking news!!
Yes, it is true Stu Hopkins isĀ off the bike, literally and now lies in pole position for this year’s Gravitas.
The ‘off ‘ happened on Tuesday evening while we (Graham Baxter with two colleagues Kevin and Tim together with Jim Davies) were riding the ‘Ridgeway’ from Christmas Common near Watlington.
We were making a fast descent on narrow single track when Stu took a very close interest in the adjacent hedgerow.
While he sustained some very nasty cuts and bruises he was not, thankfully, seriously hurt.
There is no photographic evidence as at the time it was not a laughing matter.. but hey that was then!!
