Looks like some time off the bike for me. Hit a sheep at around 20mph om the mtb this morning. Collar bone looks like it is smashed plus numerous other lumps, bumps and bruises. Sitting here waiting on my dad to take me to a&e
Ouch; hope you mend OK and its only a simple fracture.

Guy at work joined me for the ride to work morning for the first time suffice to say he was shattered when we got here avg 17.5 not a particular hilly route and only 7.5 miles
A seasoned cuclist he has been telling me all week I think its a good case of being to reliant on the car to get here (loss of fitness )
Twas fun though....

Well, as I knew myself, collarbone broken plus a piece broken off that is floating. They are hoping it might knit. If not will need plated. Humungous large lump on my hip which has been bleeding and needed dressed. Helmet all scuffed so presume that hit the ground and did its job. Getting really sore now so going to take some co-codamol and rest for a while.
At least six to eight weeks off the bike.
Sorry to hear this. I wish you a speedy recovery.

@stevey just goes to show.
Checked the weather though the wind direction has remind the same the possibility of rain has subsided, though some overshoes will still be packed. Batteries are charged two for the cree light, though probably not needed, camera if it gets used so a lot of possible dead weight really. camera kit only comes in at a few Kg's but having said that its a flat ride, at under no time pressure, and i have done 4 50+ mile days in the last 10 days (with time off for good behaviour) waiting for the new RD, I have put my new gatorskin on the rear wheel a 25c (it does catch the mudguard on rougher roads, like the track to the house) can't afford a new one for the front yet, though there is still a good few miles left in it. @Mo1959 I put changed the 27 to 28, not that its needed, but the last climb at the end isn't nice, but i actually think it works slightly better than the 27th.

Just saw Mo's collarbone. 
I hope it won't be painful for long and you get well soon.

Haven't been out since last Saturday - work. Planning on a short ride tonight, then going for the metric century tomorrow. If that pans out i might even go for forty on Sunday to get the century in a weekend.

Nice ride today, great weather, confidently went out without packing my shell in the old jersey. Invested in a pair of Shimano SPD shoes which were great. I have a dodgy big toe joint which means some shoes give me grief but these were great, so much better at getting power down, totally comfy with no issues. Those plus a new Camelbak bottle on the old frame tube, meant it was smooth. Did my favourite blast over Eaglesham moor, nice times overall 21 segment trophies, coupla PRs, one of which is 3 seconds off top 3 KOM. This may be the hybrids last ride for a while, for reasons I'll post up separately.....
Oh and @Mo1959 get well soon pal - bloody farm animals

@Supersuperleeds we have to make car drivers aware somehow. Not that I have too many problems.

This is the days ride, averages are down due to the York bit.

This is York bit. http://app.strava.com/activities/156016157/segments/3601628440
I set 15 p.b's carrying panniers for most of them, cam back Via Skipworth so a bunch of new segments, but I did stop off a while so a couple had low speeds.
According to my records the 25.89 miles there was done in 1:30:24 17.18mph 21.75ftmile, the 31.21 miles back was done in 1:59:02 @ 15.73mph 25.7ft/mile so pretty flat
