    Wishing you a speedy recovery, but at least you'll have your new bike ready and waiting!

    Thanks guys... Details? Well, I thought we'd go try out this trail in the mtns that I'd been hanging out to ride... So off we went... The first section is all downhill and reeeaaally sketchy (loose gravel and hard rock) so grip is pretty poor... I must have got about 2km down the trail and... all I remember is sitting up going "ooh crap, what happened??!!" I hit my head (helmet is getting binned!) and so I can't remember anything. I may have been unconcious for a few seconds.

    Injuries - I have a fractured right radial head (near the elbow - no casyt! yay!! - yes i'm right handed!) and massive grazes and cuts all over my knees, shins and my right shoulder. Yet i managed to ride back up the hill to the head of the trail!!!!!!!!!! Must've been the shock coz i feel reaaaally crook this morning.

    Thanks for the well wishes everyone... I won't be able to work for a couple of weeks which is a bummer... Can't work... Can't ride... Not much else i can do!!! Relax i guess. Thanks again

    Oh gosh, that's terrible! So sorry to hear it. I am a new mountain biker, and my biggest fear is a broken bone. I've had a couple of crashes, some sore parts and contusions, but no broken bones...yet. I hope you will heal up very fast.

    And your bike is gorgeous! She'll be waiting for you when you're ready.

    Take care,
    Emily
