I'm bored, in pain, and my normal sleep cycles are out of whack.

Yeah, that sucks. you could always put pcad back on ignore.

Where can I read about your crash?

dunno. Twitter thread I assume, from a week ago saturday. I think I was posting and sending emails while I was still blacked out.

You mean you didn't put it on here for all to see? Ok, I'll go searching...

That is a drag. Hopefully the collarbone surgery will help out with that. It's supposed to help the healing and should reduce the pain within a week of the surgery, right?

actually the ribs are worse. I usually don;t notice the collarbone, except that it forces me to press my arm against my broken ribs, and I have to sleep sitting up

Headwinds & hard rain on the way to work, then the winds slowly make their way to come from the southwest and BLAMO 30+mph gust and headwinds on the way home? Hey cycling gods, I went out in rain and wind this morning, I HTFUed, the only one out there today, how about a little tailwind on the way home, eh? At one point, as I crossed by the open area by the airport, winds knocked me down to 16mph, had to small ring it just to keep my cadence at something remotely non-knee destroying. Not cool, cycling gods... not cool.

You know... I still love you though (no flats please)!

Watch your breathing too, you cant cough 'cause of the ribs and sitting up makes it hard to rid the lungs of fluid. How many ribs did you break?

they stopped counting at four, though it's postulated that all the ribs on the left are broken with half of them fractured...or something silly like that.

all hurt

That sucks, man. Get well soon!

I've been thinking of your condition and it really sounds nasty g. I hope that rib pain abates soon.

:) thanks

I'm doing everything by the book. Two weeks from Thursday I should have the green light to ride the trainer and then I start three months of crushing myself in the basement. Plyometrics as soon as the ribs are healed enough. I should get to race most of August, September, and up to the wedding. I should get 8-12 weeks of racing in. Roughly half the races I did in 2009.

Yeah, sucks I got blown off the deck of a house I was framing 20 years ago and landed on the studs I was carrying, I got 3. but believe it or not , 7 years ago I dislocated 2 on the other side, just by twisting funny trying to stop my puppy from escaping from the house. The last thing I remebered was hearing a sound like bubble wrap being popped. I woke up to the shrill screams of my now exwife, I made it as far as my knees and promptly passed out again. The wife thought I had had a stroke called ems. painkillers muscle relaxers and a tourturous session with a D.O. To put them back in and I am back at it.
Seams like everything is conected to your ribs.

Any suggestions for a solid inexpensive (that means no Phil) rear cassette road hub, 36h, for 'cross?

I thought Pcad gave up on Facebook because he couldn't figure out how to post?

Sorry to hear, being off the bike is tough but taking care of yourself is always more important so heal up soon. I suspect that even in your current condition you could drop me like a bad habit, but I might have a shot.

I'm having trouble sorting out the total broken people and damaged stuff amongst the plumbing and other misc. discussions. Could someone post a quick summary?

It's sort of a schadenfreude thing.

Nyack Ride crash from Sunday: three guys, two broken ribs, one broken collarbone, one broken head.

Gary's crash at the velodrome: Gary, a full side of broken ribs (no special sauce), broken collarbone, one broken head, collapsed lung.

Gary easily outsplints the rest of the four man BREAKaway.

STFU Razor.

Imperturbable Ryuu Ichigo my ass.

You just told an old man to shut up.

Such disrespect.

:innocent:

Isn't it past your bed time Pokemon?
