Ross had Kerataconus Which basically is a deformation of the Cornea. He has had it for years and had to wear Contact lens to keep the Cornea in shape. The Op went fine but he was put on very heavy Steroids for a while and they affected him greatly- Gave him depression and anger in big doses. He was a right Basket to be with for a week or so but now off them as the cornea is not rejecting.

But It has not stopped his competitive edge. He is another rider that I cannot ride with . He was fine sunday till another rider went past us. He had to chase him down even though he was on a mountain bike and the other rider was a FIT club rider just out for a quick 50 miler doing a few slopes.
