Following my freefall from a loft ladder last weekend i've now been told to keep off the bike for a minimum of 6 weeks.
In my cycling life i've never had that sort of time away from the bike....its going to feel slightly strange I guess.
Yeah, it sucks.
Six months and counting here
The injury is not as bad as first thought, still 2 fractures and displacement.....no cast or surgery required....plenty of exersises...and must not lift anything heaver than a cup of tea.
Bugger! 😕
You still working? Restricted duties presumably if you can't lift more than a cuppa!
It's a big bugger Mark, back to work on tuesday, light duties only....answering phone, making hot drinks will be my limit......and with practice lefthanded wheelbuilding.
I'm just about to finish week 6. It's been pretty tough. I'm looking forward to riding lots of xc and mincing along the trails for a bit 😆
i pulled a tendon/ligament in my left knee a month or so back. didn't realise it at the time. two weeks ago i set off on a transalp ride i had to quit on after the second day. really fegging hurt.
been popping dicolfinac (sp?) pills and rubbing in gels for the last 10 days.
rode into twon yesterday (35km there and back) and could feel the pain in my knee again.
can't do anything other than sit down and rest. it's quite depressing.
i feel your pain. 🙁
Might be Cheltenham way in the next week or two, potential job interview. If over that way I'll pop in and be your right hand for a bit...
Ooo er missus! 😉
I wiil forget riding offroad this year now, will start back on the roadbike just bimbling to and from work.....in a strange sort of way im looking forward to the challenge of getting my fitness back and building the strength back up in my arm/ shoulder.
you wouldnt want to be my right hand.....it has some strange habits. 🙄
15 weeks and still at least another 6 to go after snapping my achilles at Ae forest
I had plans for my 50th birthday ride next month but thats not going to happen.....
