June 12 - Mt Tam mtb ride (#2 in the Bay Area Peak Trifecta)

Geez! I've been wondering! When he couldn't rotate his arm . . . Bill didn't need his set and the split was about 2 inches long parallel to the bone. He was told to do everything to maintain mobility. What does Thom's break look like? The doc told Bill 6 weeks which was the same day we started our Mt. Hood singletrack trip. Everything went terrific and healed pretty quickly. Given Bubba's (ah-hem) more advanced age, I would think Thom would do well.

You know, I'm usually the one that crashes. I shouldn't speak too loudly since I haven't even drawn blood in a while.

Really Kim, we DIDN'T plan this! :confused: :(

We'll have a picture on the web soon of his x-ray. To me it just looks like a gray line near the top of the bone.

It was a true accident. He picked a line going into the corner and didn't have time to react to the rut - which you could have parked a jeep in. It can happen to any of us. But I'm going to try to stay even more focused when I ride now!

Bubba just told me that he broke his ulna which is the big bone. I'm sending healing, positive thoughts. Jobob, V told me to stop being such a mom. Can you take over? :) :(

Ouch! Hope Thom heals OK.

I'm missing something here -- was Bill/Bubba also hurt?

Hoo, me?
I'm the nagging mother hen, not the nurturing one :o

Uh, get better soon, Thom !

Oh no! I'm so sorry for Thom! I hope he heals very quickly. What a drag!

Bubba broke his ulna years ago in Oregon. The group of us were learning to wheelie and Bubba just had to go off and try a NOSE wheelie. He did the wheelie successfully :), just forgot to let go of the brakes :rolleyes: and went over the bars on pavement :( . He was sent to the back of the class. :p

He just split the ulna, no cast or anything, 6 weeks later we rode singletrack from Mt. Hood to the Columbia River.

oh V - I just caught this up!.....please give Thom hugs and kisses for his boo-boo! I'm so sorry to hear about his accident. Hope he heals slow but well!
