I was just riding that route as a one off so haven't rubbed shoulders with many tourers. It's beautiful and plenty of cool places to camp. I guess what happened to me was just pure bad luck.
Maybe TMI but when they scraped me off the road I was in a bad way: fractured spine, lungs full of blood etc. Spent two weeks in an induced coma and then another two in intensive care recovering. Can now walk and climb stairs and looking forward to being repatriated tomorrow.
