Digging up and old thread here rather than starting a new one.

After some experiences from people on the topic!

I am 4 weeks on from a crash and 3 weeks 4 days from surgery. I'm assuming the bone healing process is up to the Soft-Callus stage with the start of the Hard-Callus.

The exact details of the crash that required surgery were;

​There was a rend in the capsule of the AC Joint and the distal clavicle was superiorly subluxated due to detachment of the coracoclavicular ligaments with bone fragments.

​There were multiple comminuted fragments of bone that were removed and later re-implanted as autogenous bone graft. The distal clavicle was aligned and internally fixed with a hook clavicle plate...... etc. etc.

So basically the collarbone was broken at the distal end, along with the ligament and had ORIF surgery to put it all back in place with a bone graft.

Wondering on how people went to returning to riding on the road? At the moment, the shoulder feels good, i've have been riding on the trainer since 4 days post surgery. Have been doing up to 2 hours a day on it.

How did it feel your first ride back and afterwards? How long were you riding etc?

Thanks in advance!
