I'm out of town this weekend but how about the next weekend? (Sept 1st/2nd?) We could do Sunset beach down to Newport and back or maybe Redondo to Santa Monica and back? Naturally I'll be out to try at least 6mm of the 6" of travel I now have
Keep us updated with the ride plan!! We'll have to do a "welcome home" party (welcome home onto the bike)
get well soon....serious looking scar! i know you dont know me...but i would so do redondo to santa monica...(and back)
Keith, I've been off the board for a while, so when I saw this I wanted to wish good healing vibes.....I feel for ya brother! I'm still recovering from that "cursed fully-loop" taking me down in April! Feel better soon and nice scar!! :clap: Scott Tru dat!! Damn....I swear that place is cursed. Anyone know any "mountaining biking priest", that can go out and conduct a clensing to ward off the "evil bike spirits living there. [-o-]
Had my cast removed today. 1month and 3 days after the crash and I only have a removeable wrist brace on now! The radial neck of my elbow has almost totally healed already with almost full range of movement and the other small fractures in my elbow joint are healing well. I took the bike round the apartment complex roads last night and all went well. got a bit sore after 10mins or so but hey its a start Start physical therapy in 3 weeks.
He expects those fragments to grow back together and make the break ultimately stronger....I hope! 8-[ The big chunk on the right one is a bit concerning but he didnt give a time frame on them growing back together. He looked a bit alarmed when I told him I rode on the street - but said it'd be fine....'jsut dont fall off!' :lol: Damn it was weird when the cast came off - painful and skin falling off all over the place!
That's great news Keith. It looks to me like your ahead of the prognosis.Looking foward to riding with you again. Take care. See you soon.
Hey Keith, wouldn't a road bike be more jarring to your arm than a MTB? Hope the pieces heal together without further assistance! Take care:bang:
Hey Keith, Glad you're healing up well. The scar looks cool! I'm sure it'll fade and fill in with time. Soon you'll be riding with us back up Blackstar.
Get well Soon "My BRUUU-THA." I say its high time we make a stop at The Olde Ship in Fullerton! C'mon! :beer:
Excellent news! That's great news... you've already learned so much more about fractures that you really didn't want to know in the first place. Just glad everything seems to be knitting together nicely. The human body is a marvel! Just don't be testing it again! Look forward to seeing on one of our Newbie rides when you're ready. OMR
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.
