@Mo1959 thats what they said to me in April , fractures and breaks are different I know, look on the positive at least it wasn't a leg or hip, and I was looking forward to a rest as well after tomorrow, seems I will have to up my game to your recent endeavours to keep @Leescfc79 motivated

Eeeeew, looks painful! Feet up and watch Wimbledon!

Just for info is your helmet fairly new because some firms offer a replacement service if you have a crash?

Just noticed its the Mumbles Heart Foundation Ride on Sunday. Wondering whether I can manage the 28 miler or just pass this year.

Looks like some time off the bike for me. Hit a sheep at around 20mph om the mtb this morning. Collar bone looks like it is smashed plus numerous other lumps, bumps and bruises. Sitting here waiting on my dad to take me to a&e

Blimey, get well soon, hope the bike and the sheep are okay as well

In fact, sod the sheep, I hope you turn it into a casserole

Well, as I knew myself, collarbone broken plus a piece broken off that is floating. They are hoping it might knit. If not will need plated. Humungous large lump on my hip which has been bleeding and needed dressed. Helmet all scuffed so presume that hit the ground and did its job. Getting really sore now so going to take some co-codamol and rest for a while.
At least six to eight weeks off the bike.

Ouch! That looks really sore. I hope you are feeling better soon. My hubby had a broken collarbone from coming off his bike at speed. He was back on the bike after about 3 weeks, but I don't think his was as bad.

It's a commonly known fact that men heal quicker, might be to do with the fact that when we are injured or ill we lay on the settee and don't do anything, whereas women just carry on as normal

Managed my first sportive in the Brewood Cycle Challenge. Opted for the 50km ride and I'd done the distance a few times so I thought it should go fairly smoothly. Decided on Saturday morning that it would absolutely chuck it down. I managed to complete it despite a puncture three miles from the end and one broken brake/changer. I then had the longest soak in the bath known to mankind.

I'll let you have tomorrow off I'm off to New York until next Wednesday but hoping to hire a bike for a tour around Central Park while I'm there.....not too much slacking while I'm away though, I'll need you when I get back!

Or maybe we are just softer

 

[BrianEvesham]

Oh man that looks nasty. Feet up and take it easy @Mo1959

Fingers crossed for a quick recovery.

Thats funny I am off to old York tomorrow to ride naked, and riding there, and back, with a 50% chance of getting wet in the 30 mins from home. So apart from a little trip into town 200ft in 2.5 miles and back I am taking the day off, bike is sorted, just food to sort (can't afford cafes) so have to carry everything, clothes food ect. Even though this is an late aft/evening thing, I will be on the go from about 9.30 as I go to my group Fridays, so thats a 10 mile round trip, with a gap of 1.5 hrs in the middle, then home, load the bike (well put the pre packed panniers on) fit lights, and leave about 2 ride is at 5.30 finish that than ride home, simple.

What do you mean might?

 

[welsh dragon]

That looks really painful @Mo1959. Hope you get well soon. You'll just have to make do with listening to us telling you of our adventures. Of course we may well moan now and again as well. Like today. It's blomin hot.

My very best wishes for a speedy recovery @Mo1959, make sure you take it nice & easy.

The mornings wont be the same on Strava without seeing what ridiculously early time you started riding!!

Rain

Yes please. I'd love some rain., oh and your not going to ride to the WNBR naked are you. I presume your going to be dressed on the ride over there and back.
