Doing a regular loop around Chinley Churn last night. Pulled my front wheel up at a stream at the bottom of a descent and the next thing I knew I was lying in the sand (its like a beach up there!) nursing my chest that had just slammed into an embedded rock, and couldn’t I straighten my right arm. JP fixed my front pitch flat and I rode/rolled the mile or so back home.
Was concerned about my chest and arm and went to A+E - after x-ray’s chest fine just badly bruised/swollen which effects breathing slightly and fractured broken - now sat at home full of Co-Codalmol watching daytime TV with my arm in a sling (fracture clinic tomorrow).
**Fracture clinic update** Doctor thinks that I don’t need physio and should be able to regain a decent about of movement in two to three weeks -mmm… still pretty painful 6 days after the event…
Doc said elbow should take around 6 weeks to heal.
Had just signed up for Enduro 6 as well, and also messes up my Trans-Wales training : (
(Was riding my shonky rigid bike, Don’t think I would have lost it with a suspension fork. that’ll teach me!)
