Dear all, This post is to inform the wider community that a well known Coupe owner, enthusiast and active member of this forum and club has been involved in a terrible cycling accident. Thunderbox, aka Chris Pye of Worthing was recently involved in a horrendous collision whilst on a 21 mile training ride. He was either squashed or forced into the side of a truck on the A24. He has sustained serious fractures to his neck and shoulders and head a injury (inc. a bleed on the brain). He has been in intensive care, but has now been moved to a care ward. He is in full body cast/armour and has limited mobility. He has been in to theatre for the fractured neck (C-section) but is now back on the ward. I'm sure that we all want to wish him a speedy and full recovery from this terrible event. My thoughts go out to him and his family, especially at this time of year when all we want is to be together at home. I will be visiting him on Tuesday in Brighton Hospital to alleviate the boredom - well that's the intention anyway I hope we all have a better Christmas than Chris, best wishes to you all, Ross.

Don't know the chap but that sounds horrendous and I wish him all the best for a speedy recovery amongst the support of his family. As others have said, I hope Chris has a full and speedy recovery.

Update on Thunderbox, Chris is in remarkably good spirits concidering and has lost none of his dry wit! He is though, as is to expected, in a great deal of discomfort after the accident and proceeding surgery. He is getting a steady stream of visitors to help him through this very uncomfortable period, but tires easily. It was great to see him, and there is talk of moving him possibly a little closer to home if the support staff are available. Both he and Jean were enormously grateful for all the messages and card of support and goodwill. Thank you on their behalf. I will keep you all posted after the next visit or before if I get further news. Kind regards, Ross

Good news. Spoke briefly to Chris on two meets and just came across as a very nice guy. Thanks for the update Ross.

Ross, a bit late to this, but please add my name to the list of those who pass on their best wishes to Chris for a speedy recovery.
Amidst the tinsel, this sort of thing reminds us of what is precious.
If you think he would appreciate the dodgy humour, please tell him that if he was trying to work out what the yellow pointy things were on the truck's wheels, it would have been much safer to ask in here.
