Dietrich Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 This had to be the nicest weather we have had in November as far as I can remember. The last week was awesome, around 20C. (70F?) Blue sky. Greatest riding weather. Unlucky for me that I broke my collarbone about 5 weeks ago. Everybody is asking:"You fell off the bike?" Instead I fell over a stupid flower pot in my backyard. It was dark and I took a hell of a dive. I thought it was pretty elegant until I landed. I heard the crack and nearly fainted. Not a pleasant experience. Never broke a bone in my life. Anyway, it is healing but no more riding this year. Well, it is getting colder outside now and snow is in the forecast. So I don't feel so bad. See you on the road next spring. Link to comment
Laura Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 So sorry. Heal fast and try not to dwell on missing out on riding for right now. I feel for you. I missed a step in the dark in my backyard in September and found myself flat on my face. I though someone was watching until I realized the gasp I heard was me as I was falling. I sprained my ankle pretty good but it could have been worse. After the loud crunch I heard I thought I broke my ankle for sure. It kept me off the bike for several weeks as I couldn't put any pressure on my right foot. Ouch.......but all better now. You'll be better soon to Link to comment

SageRider Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Heal well, be thankful that this happened near the end of your riding season, and get that poor dumb flower pot some education! Link to comment

BULLman Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Heal well and plan for the spring +1 Last year I fractured my collarbone, it was no fun. Wiggle your toe and your collarbone hurts [how does it know?] Heal fast. Do the rehab. Kill all your flowers Link to comment
Bullett Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Dietrich: I'm sorry to hear of your mishap. Walking is dangerous! Take care of yourself and you will be back on the bike come Springtime. Link to comment
Francois_Dumas Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Owww... that's unfortunate. Nina rode off the road and into a ditch last year and had the same. Takes a while to heal....... hoping fopr good weather for you when it does ! Link to comment
