Riding While Injured

Possibly broken but extremely bruised big toe, I dropped a weight on my toe at work yesterday and I'd hate to pass up a perfect 60+ deg day in Nov. in the northeast.

Should I HTFU and go for a ride later?

Go for it, but listen to your body and stop if it's really giving you troubles.. No sense aggravating an injury.

dennisa, If the toe isn't swollen and a quick test doesn't inflame it, go ahead. A real rider wouldn't have asked. They'd gone ahead and cut a hole out of their expensive shoes and ridden! :)

I just had neuroma surgery on Tuesday....both feet. I'm off the bike for 2 weeks with zero hope of riding and the weather here has been STELLAR!!!! If you can do it with no pain I say GO!!!
