Not the best ride ever, set out on my 'usual' evening 50 miler and somehow managed to fall off in Malmesbury landing on my hip. Considered ringing for backup but decided that if Contador can carry on riding with a leg fracture I must be able to make it home with a painful hip.

Hmmm.....24 miles of extreme pain and struggling to even stand now I'm home. I think tomorrow could be 'interesting'.

Such is life I suppose, and I was grateful for the concern shown by the 2 elderly gents who witnessed my spectacular dismount.

Heh heh I was on (and off!) the winter bike so not too worried about it but yes, bar no longer shifting at the front it seemed fine.

Judging by the fact it's just taken me 10 minutes to get downstairs I don't think I'll be driving to Telford as planned this morning.

Sounds rather painful. Hope you recover quickly.

I'm sure there are easier ways to get out of going to Telford.

Lucky escape, avoiding Telford

GWS s@mooseracer -ride the road to recovery!

Sadly I write this from a hospital ward having had 3 pins inserted into my broken hip this afternoon

No wonder the 24 miles I rode home after I fell were darn painful!

Dislike and I hope you get healed fast. I guess it's a few months off the bike?

Take care folks, there's a few too many of us ending up in hospital lately!

I did 10 miles tonight. My leg's still a bit sore and stiff after Monday's off so i kept it minimal not pushing it and the leg feels ok..so far.

Yes, there has been a few crashes among my very sedate Belles group too.

GWS and I know it hurts but do the physio!
(And take any pain meds they offer)
I could offer a but it is still too painful for me at the moment sadly, so I'll over a and but please watch our collective waistlines...

24 miles on a broken hip. I don't think Contador went that far after his crash, did he?

(Feels slight tinge of regret for being frivolous in the last reply now)

GWS!
