I am no Doc but I could even see where a lot more healing needs to occur as I examined the x-ray, The Doc knows I am very active - he threatened to come to my house and take away my skis, he was not even surprised that I had already taken a run on them since the injury. I was hoping for a 6 week recovery - now it looks like 8

In any event I am snow shoeing and staying active. I took my first spin class ever this week - I will make it a reg

ular routine - twice a week at least until spring. It was fun, it made the time go by better than spinning alone on the trainer. I could not do the last "out of the saddle " set due to the shoulder but that too will pass soon enough. Heart rate really got up there, more than I am able to do on my own grinding away on the trainer.
Spinning is great that's what I do to keep in shape for riding during the winter months. I go to the Health Club and spin 4 to 5 times a week and get a good work out. I hope that your collar bone heals quick so that you can get back to skying if not skying then bike riding. Good luck.
