After a fall on a skiing holiday, Brian Robinson has broken a piece of bone off his shoulder ball joint. He has flown home and had surgery yesterday (sunday).

He has been told that it will be about 3 months before he can ride his bike again, which means missing out on the Mallorca trip.

Get well soon mate,

Steve

Damn bad luck Brian, once the pain goes down a bit those 2 x20's will be waiting

Hey Brian, Sorry to hear about this - If you remember I broke my collar bone a few years ago - I ended up usung the turbo before I was allowed out on the road - came back fitter , stronger , and longer lasting on my first CR !!

The view from surgeon was turbo is fine , so long as your shoulder doesnt hurt whilst performing the activity - good luck on a speedy return !

Cheers, Matt

Ouch! Get well soon, although it sounds like Toks and Matt want you doing turbo intervals before the end of the month

Hard luck Brian, I hope you have a speedy recovery and return to cycling fitter and faster.

As you won't be on bike are you available for some baby sitting while I go out on mine ? :lol:

Awful luck for you mate, nearly bad enough for you to climb off the wagon.

Sorry to hear this Brian, snow boarding eh! will be missed in Mallorca.
Speedy recovery mate.

Cheers guys. Bit of a bummer, happened on 1st day (ever) :oops:

. Was pushing the boundaries a bit :twisted:

to maximise the holiday and blew it big style with a heavy wipeout on a blue run.

Had operation on Sunday at St Georges in Tooting. They pinned it back together and am now in rehabilitation. Shoulder to be immobilised for 4 weeks before any physio. Thus, Majorca ain't happening for this year. I suspect it will be June before I hit the open road with the club.

Once the scar from surgery has healed will definitely be hitting the turbo. I'll have the 2 x 20min turbos licked by May if nothing else. Interesting to see what my pace will be like on a turbo only diet.

See you in June :cry:
