TheoG Posted April 12, 2021 Share Been out of action for a few weeks, had a nasty fall with my MTB and broke my ankle (Fibula & Tibia), both sides . If the 4 Samaritans (fellow bikers) that helped me, (first 2 from from the single track to the road, and then another 2 helped me into the car when my wife came to get me) are on here, thanks very much, have no other means of getting hold of you. Without your help I would have been screwed. The pain was agonizing and it will be probably at least another 4-6 weeks before I can get my arse on a bike again. It's very frustrating to be able to do very little for myself or anyone else . First time in my life being in this situation and it suck big time, DJR, fanievb, ChrisF and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoG Posted April 12, 2021 Share it's been a week since my bike (to be renamed snapper) took me to get some xrays and then to the orthopedic surgeon's office. Broken fibula and some ligament damage. 6 weeks no weight on my foot, at least I got away without the need for a cast or a moonboot. Follow up on the 14th to see/hear what the next steps are. IMG-20210401-WA0021.jpg Mine look pretty much the same, just with some screws on the other side also. Luckily the orthopedic surgeon said my tendons are in tact. I got half a cast underneath and bandaged over the front. The worst is the pain when blood rush down when my foot is not elevated, is getting better slowly but surely.

JK7 Posted April 12, 2021 Share We went to Phambili side of Avianto trails, just for a reminder of how nice and challenging the trails there are.377D7A42-7F71-48BF-B266-FBDA834EC5AA.jpegLooks good. How did you access it? If I'm understanding correctly, this is the section that you go under the tunnel to cross the main road to get to? I did this a few weeks ago and found a gate closing off the trails with a "private residence" no entry sign. Unless I'm misunderstanding.

The worst is the pain when blood rush down when my foot is not elevated, is getting better slowly but surely. seeing the doc tomorrow to get the stitches out. swelling is down quite a bit and stays that way if I elevate the foot. I can sit behind my desk for about an hour at a time. ja, that blood-rushing business is blerrie painful. TheoG and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow the blue “ west” trails, under the culvert and then left into the property. Follow the dual track all the way up, then take a left upma little tar section. All the way down and then right onto the trails. Green is ok there, but what you really want to do is the technical blue trails, gets your ascending game dialled.
