Great to hear from someone who has been there. Can you still run? I used to do 10k's and stuff. They screwed through the cracks and put wire in there. What kind of wheels? Crank Bro's? I see the pedals still my fav's. I still have been makin do with just the 2 bikes my Masi Cyclocross w\ 105 gruppo and that roadbike on the blue lugged Kapu frame w\Ultegra gruppo & Dura-ace bar-ends. I got Velocity Areo's on it w the offset rear.

I stopped running after knee surgery in 92. Crank Bros rock, esp on 'cross bikes when its muddy. Veolicty wheels are good stuff had a set on an Orbea and man could they take some punishment!

Holy shite FN...that sounds like it was a nasty off mate. How did ya manage to do that fer chrissakes???

Stovey makes good sense mate...you are fit to start off, so you have a head start of the healing process...but as Stovey says mate...let pain be your guide when doing LIGHT exercise. (I'm still trying to get my head around his explanation of setting up the bike for exercise in the trainer, dead leg an all.) No matter how good you feel mate...don't overdo it, just slowly build on your strength and maintain your fitness levels.

Cheers, Vince

I did a little bunny hop to clear an obstacle but came down going too fast I guess, because my bike did that little wobble that's hard to recover and then my front wheel got sideways,,,,,,,,,I think? Not really sure but that's my story. Landed on concrete, never good. Had a real hard time getting back on bike, when I got back I told my buddy I couldn't pedal or put weight on left side he said "Really?" so I did circles in parking lot while he put his bike away, then he "caught" me as I rode real slow. Some people held me up as They put my bike down and pulled it out from under me. So I didn't have to raise my legs or put weight on left. Some people at the ride had transported their bikes in back of mini van so they just pulled up behind me where I stood and they just tipped me over into the back. That's when the real pain started. took me to E.R. and the fun began.

Oh yeah, The Masi's fine.

Pfft- bit of a tumble. walk it off. You'll be fine. Hurry back mister! Here's a lil secret spot by my place for snorkelin'/spear fishin....

Wow, is that a barrier reef and a freshwater inlet in one spot?

NICE looking fishing spot for sure. you take care and heal up quick now you here? plenty of comfry tea. its not called knitbone for nothing. go into a healthfood shop and get some anica aswell as it will help with the healing of the soft tissue. Im not a believer of the homopathetic oops I mean homopathic school of medicine. but do surely have faith in the old school stuff as I have seen it work its majic.

That'll do it FN...every time mate. My son in law used to do urban freestyle rides...funny how easy it is to go base over apex on the smallest of obstacles...or a flight of stairs.

Take it easy and let your body heal mate.

Stovey...what a magnificent snorkelling and spearfishing cove mate...it looks magnificent. The reef off the point looks like it would be a fish haven mate. Sure would be a nice spot to cool down after a big ride.

Cheers, Vince

Oi! That it is. Kinda murky from the swell lifting stuff on the bottom. IT runs clear moslty and @ noon it's like swimming in a fish bowl. The point is killer too...best @ slack-tide so ya dont get bounced. Lobster, ab's, calico, opal eye, etc. Ab's used to be big, now they are restricted, pollution etc kinda shrunk their numbers- so they say. Kind of a scramble to get to- football shoes in work a treat. Miss me them ab's steaks, pounded flat, rolled in flour or meal, chucked in butter or oil...toss in some slaw and taters and eeeeyow! *buuuurp*

I'm walking slow and un assisted

good to hear you are on the road to recovery.

That was fast! Was just thinking of calling you out! Your ears musta been burning! Great work mister!
