So....

Bought a carbon 456, finished the build on Tuesday.

Booked a ski holiday in Les Arcs for my mates stag do, leaving on Saturday.

Supposed to be going skiing with my missus 2 weeks on saturday.

And then I hit the dry ski slope in Warmwell, literally. 1 broken Ulna, 2 cancelled ski trips and a brand spanking new bike a can't ride until the end of next month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGH!!!!!!

I'm gutted....

Oh well, it could have been a lot worse. Get to spend time helping my mates fix their bikes now 🙂

That's just not fair. Get well soon. What's an Ulna?

It is rubbish!

Still, get to spend other peoples money in the meantime (see my other [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/more-help-please ]topic[/url])

Also got plenty to do for work to keep me occupied, was a bit controversial taking the time off when I was!

Oh, I think I broke that one a couple of years ago. I found walking round my normal riding patches looking for new trails stopped me from climbing the walls too much. It's amazing what you miss whilst scooting along on a bike!

Anyway I've heard skiing is rubbish and that you should always let a carbon frame "settle" for a month after building it up before riding it 😉

Luckily I have 3 dogs at my disposal so will be taking them for more walks than normal now! Will also look out for future trails during the walks.
