Bad luck Alan!

Get some of those Tyler pills and you'll be fine for the rest of July.

Sorry to hear about this Alan, I hope it heals up quickly for you.

Ironically the night before your crash both my team mates and I were involved in a mass pile up in a race out here. We were 800m from sprinting for 3rd place, so you can imagine the speeds.

Anyhow, my team mate Josh ended up with a broken wrist and a bike that had been smashed to pieces. While I escaped with more minor injuries, I did land heavily on my head and shoulder. The latter of which was diagnosed ''Well, I don't think it's broken, but I'm not sure'', evidently it's not, or at worst it was a really minor crack she could see. I do however, still have some multi-coloured brusing around my shoulder, over two weeks on!

Cycling ay, don't you just love it.

Thanks Adam

Yes, I guess I am evaluating the risks of racing and age. My shoulder although bruised hasn't really bothered me but I have pulled tendons and bruised muscles in my thigh and am hobbling around full of drugs to control the pain. I reckon 6 weeks off the bike at a minimum and have started a bit of physiotherapy. My therapist thinks I have lost half an inch off the circumference of my thigh in just 2 weeks so I now need to exercise with alternate hot and cold packs applied to the painful bits. I still have to go to the GP nurse to change bandages on a deep wound on my elbow. Grrrrrr....

Still I have watched all the tour stages!

cheers

My first ride in 6 weeks. Not too bad considering zero exercise due to hip injury. But felt v tired later in day and suffered cramp. Stayed with a slow 17mph group and rode back solo to keep steady pace. Ended with a puncture! Collect finally repaired Colnago tomorrow. Tuesday to see bone doctor at Mayday. Need some steady miles over the next few week But back on the bike at least!

Well done Alan, I'm glad your back on the bike
