Red Rider. Hope your recovery will be satisfactory. Glad to see you're not giving up. Not long ago , I posted a thread about a riding buddy who fell on a descent. He broke a femur.. Today, I learned it was a big time femur. Right at the socket.. He'll be off work for at least 6 weeks..
.. I am not a fast descent person. To the consternation of my club. When I fell I ripped my roto cuff big time.. Compared to Patrick's femur socket, guess what is a rotor cuff...
Hope Patrick will be able to "get back on the horse. " his horse being or had been a brand new road bike.. I suspect if Patrick does , he'll be last one down the mountain as is my habit..
After a big fall, speed just seems less fun; when it puts at greater risk our love of the bike.
