mpbarrett Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 :(I am beginning to think that we are not meant to do the 10CR this year…… :(Today Libby has fallen down the stairs, badly twisted her right knee and is on pain killers and has been told not to drive for at least 5 days! Bit of a bugger when you are about to go off driving for 2000 miles around Europe.At the moment we are still planning to start tomorrow , with me driving, but will try to do a shortened 'tour of France' hopefully getting to Beziers and Rolduc but making up our own route and cutting out the night driving (and the fun hilly bits) :(.There is still time for something else to go break, thinking about it neither of us has had Swine flu yet .....CheersMike, and a hobbling Libby.Ellis: have sent you an email.

thescrapman Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Right knee is OK, that is just accelerator and Brake.,Left knee would be a pain (sorry!) dipping the clutch all the time.Just go for it all, no kneed (sorry again!) to think about shortening the route now. If it is a problem tomorrow, then think about it.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJP Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Sounds like you're Kneeding( ;D) a crash course in Left Foot Braking - just brake with the left foot, sod the clutch and whack the gearbox into neutral - easy peasy :K) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don cook1 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Let Libby do the long stretches and you do the fun bits, Get some Ibrofufen gel and I can let you have some anti inflamatories (Diclofenac), or I have some Codine left over as well, if you want. I did the first 10CR without a co-driver...I did enlist one or two for some bits though.I'm with Colin, see how it goes tomorrow/Fri. I have two crook knees and co-driver has put his back out but miss this...no way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
