I have just recieved a text from Sarah (His girlfriend) asking that we refrain from visiting chris for the next little while. His health has taken a turn for the worst and doctors are saying no visitors.

My understanding is that there has been some bleeding occurring in his brain, which may in part be due to over stimulation during the last 48hrs.
So as it stands, they need the bleeding to stop otherwise they will have to operate. As such, no visitors are allowed for the next couple days. Ill post updates as they come.
Keep strong Chris.

I don't know Chris at all but its hard to believe something like this would happen here. I hope they catch whoever did this and throw the book at them. Best of luck on your recovery.

I don't really know Chris, but he sounds like a stand-up guy. Hope he pulls through well and gets back in the saddle before long.

Update:
Sarah texted me this morning saying that Chris is improving, still no visitors allowed because it sets him back, but he is doing better.

Chris, people in Bracebridge are asking about you, thinking positive thoughts and wishes for you. Be patient. It may be the hardest ride you have taken so far, but you can keep peddling.

Spoke to fruity today..
Says that he's doing much better and the doctors are impressed with his rate of recovery. He is now in rehab and will likely spend the next 3-4 weeks there. His memory has improved significantly and he can now remember the events the past week.

I just did the year long checkup -the day I've been waiting since September 2009.
Ill be seeing everyone on the race course next year.
Ordering a new bike tomorrow I presume! Thanks everyone for all of the support, the visits, and giving me something to look forward to in the last year and 3 months and 7 days. I'm lucky to be alive lucky to have these friends and our community. The cycling scene is one I'd never leave.
(don't hit me on the head still though 'kay?)

Ill be seeing everyone on the race course next year. LIKEFruits this is great news. Everyone will be stoked to hear this, and its going to be awesome to finally humiliate your ass on a race course. Just because you're cleared doesn't mean you can go back to doing all the stupid shit you love so much to do. You were really lucky to make it through this one, so hopefully now you take even the slightest moment to think about things before doing them.. all things. I know how hard it was for ya to take an entire season off racing, but it paid off for ya. Now get on your trainer or forever remain Manton's bitch. srsly man, such good news.
