Minnie Mouse rescued from Lakes after bike crash leg break
9:41am Thursday 11th December 2008 in
MINNIE Mouse has been rescued from a Lake District fell after breaking her leg while crashing her mountain bike.
Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue team had to rescue a woman mountain biker dressed as popular Disney cartoon character Minnie Mouse on Sunday afternoon.
The woman, an experienced rider in her 30s, was on a festive ‘fancy dress ride’ with Lancaster based mountain bike club The Bogtrotters.
The group - which included riders dressed as Dennis the Menace, Shrek, a sugar plum fairy, a pre-op transsexual and a sexy Santa - were riding along Elterwater Common, near Great Langdale, when she crashed her bike, breaking her left ankle.
Nick Owen, spokesman for Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue, said: “She just fell off her bike and badly broke her ankle.
“She was on a fancy dress ride, there was a bloke there with suspenders and stockings on. They were all in good spirits.”
The woman was taken by ambulance to Lancaster Royal Infirmary.

it's supposed to be funny :o) Obviously no sensible person would normally dress that way, whatever their sexual orientation...
