I am not happy at all. New bike and everything.

 

Yip - the only thing that will keep you going is the knowledge that at least you can train again soon.

 

What did you damage/break that you cannot ride?

Stupid little accident on my way to meet friends for a training ride. Still a bit dark and I think hit ice. Dislocated thumb and broke off a bit that holds the bone in the socket. Pushed it back in myself but it popped out again. Hurt like hell. Had it set under anesthetic but it came out again. Had an operation to pin it. Now it is fused and in a cast. Have the pin taken out in 3 weeks. Hopefully I will be back on the bike then.

Three weeks since my last off. Three weeks to go. I look the other way when I walk past my 3 bikes. I try not to stare at cyclists on the road. I don't get too uptight when I see guys on MTB bikes but on Sunday drove past 2 guys on Empire road on De Rosas, that was a bit emotional.

 

I'm in the depressed phase now. Don't feel like doing much. Life feels long and tedious. Only 3 weeks left.

 

Classic!!!!! :clap:

 

i can sort of relate as well even though i have not had an accident lately but due to Mother Nature on Holiday in the Mother City it makes cycling fairly difficult!!

Hell, sounds painfull, hope you back on the bike soon. If it still hurts what about an indoor trainer where you do not have to hold onto the handlebars the whole time?

 

I know not ideal and boring but better than nothing.
