I hope everything is healing up well for you.
Let me know of you want to set up a cripple ride with me and the others that are down and recovering. I can hardly use my right arm but I can't wait to ride. Let's think of a good recovery ride with little to no climbing. Maybe no bumps either. ha ha I rode a long travel bike to the park not using my bad arm much it wasn't to bad. It just has to be smooth for it not to hurt. |

How about STR Jerseys for the cripple ride that read something like:
'I survived the Thursday STR Fully Loop Ride' I'd buy one!

Keith... I am so bummed for you. Your arm X Ray is F'ed Up. That is honestly the worst break I have ever seen. Its like a cartoon. Hopefully you can get back to being pain free soon. I am down for a fully loop ride with the gimps.

Yeah the surgeon said he rarely see's damage like that. He said to have shatterd the bones that way and done the radial neck and also put fractures in the elbow joint was 'some serious going'

Some bad news today - arm had developed some weird 'clicking' sound so to cut a long story short I'm back in a cast that immobilises me forearm and elbow.
So sadly I wont be doing the beach ride at least for another 3 weeks. Doc wasnt sure what had happened to it but squeezed and pressed my arm until I was literally screaming. He also couldnt answer why I was unable to get any rotational use out of my arm. might have to have another surgery later down the line to remove one of the plates and seperate the bones if they grow together. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat.

Keith, so sorry to hear that; I'll try harder with healing vibes!
Maybe we can tow you along on a beach ride (by "we", I mean the other guys, you know, the strong riders). Can you fit into one of those toddler things? Just curl up your legs a bit

I couldnt hold the bars on my road bike (on the trainer) so I've done a grand total of 35mins riding in the gym since it all went Pete Tong. I'd better learn to love the recumbent bike in there!

Hang in there dude. Try to stay positive and stay strong in mind. The best physical therapist I've had always told me "Don't worry about it. That's my job." When you're healing up, sometimes you can't control everything so just try roll with it and try not to stress and freak about it all.
Hey, sitting on the beach can be just as nice too. Feel better. Carl |
