Greg breaks his leg in NZ Day 6

When greg twisted his leg late on day 6 of the ride we all pretty much just laughted it off. He had fallen off so much we pretty much thought he was indestructible. It turns out he is not. Greg wrote:


"Turns out my "ankle sprain"  is in fact a broken leg (fibula near knee) and a ripped apart ankle (Maisonneuve fracture), from my boot hitting at speed, the bastard grass hidden rock adjacent to the rut I was in, late on the last day,
Love those NZ ruts and rocks.
Rolled up to the hospital this morning, now have a plaster cast and crutches and going back for a multiple titanium screw insertion operation tomorrow.
Woooh Hooo.
Looking forward to 8 weeks on crutches-not.
But at least I got the auxiliary bandaged lambie, though it's not as cool as the real, trail worn, one eyed, roll-in-the-grass lambie."
