2012-03-16 - Rider down, Pennine Bridleway

Not really a standard rider down tread, but someone here might be able to help

"There's an unknown mtber in Leeds Gen Infirmary. He was taken there by air ambulance about 5pm this afternoon after a couple of riders from the Oldham area found the guy totally out of the game with his face ripped to bits on the Pennine Bridleway in the Piethorne Valley. He had no i/d and was in total shock. Long shot I know - but has anyone on here heard who it might be?

Apparently all he can remember is he is called Richard, looks in his forties and was riding a white and blue Beone bike.

If anyone can help please message Fluff Miller on Facebook"

Goodness me, how shocking! Hope this gets sorted soon..

yeah hope he gets memory back soon.

carry id if riding alone folks, it's easy enough to write on a scrap of paper / card and put in a pocket / saddlebag.

Looks like he's been id'd and is recovering.

There was a very tragic incident here last year when a motorbiker crashed into and killed a cyclist who wasn't carrying any ID. It took around three days to track down next of kin.
