BROKEN WRIST AND CRACKED RIBS
To cut a long story short (mainly because its frustrating typing one handed AGAIN) I was out riding and someone on a punkin tried to come out and around to overtake me and got totally out of shape and ran into the side of me knocking me off. I have done the scafoid on my left wrist and cracked 2 ribs on my left side so will be out of action for a while. Now no wise cracks about my broken bones as it effin HURTS to laugh......

Thank you and not too sure on the timeframe, I'm just pi$$ed off as I have booked and payed for a large annual ride that is on in 10 weeks.
The bike is perfect, barely a scratch. I wish I were as lucky.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that. One of my riding buddies broke his scaphoid a few weeks back, we call him "Indian Mace" now... He was riding while standing on his seat down a dirt road and thought that he could do it no-handed as well, he was wrong. He's not a fearless teenager of my age either, A class racer and a father who's son I ride with. Funny thing is that his son watched the whole thing. His doctor told him he cant ride for something like 6 months, he's really bummed right now.
Hope ya' feel better soon.

Imagine your wrist in a vise done up fairly tight and thats about how it feels. The ribs are worse than the wrist pain wise.Jeb wrote:Does the wrist hurt much?
Thanks for the kind wishes guys.
