Sicknote is...poorly

According to the Dozer-vine; our good pal Sicknote took a hefty tumble on the way TO the pub on Friday night, resulting in a nasty fracture that's gonna keep him off his knobblies for a while :(

Apparently he's damaged his wrist and has a Scaphoid fracture of some sort. This looks like a potentially nasty little injury, so let’s hope that it heals quickly (picture from American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons).

I'm not normally a betting man, but perhaps we should have a sweep stake on how long it takes mrKungFu to spring back to full health ? Tho it'd be more fun to guess how many Mars Bars he'll demolish whilst convalescing :O ;)

What I want to know is - did he get concussed ? :p - this was Sicknotes fave CyB phrase !

...from Sicknote...it's too early to tell. My arm will be in plaster for 6 weeks. If it has not fixed itself by 8 weeks, I will need an operation :0(

Summer cycling is knackered.

...update...Sicknote is now well on the mend and was dismissed from further treatment a few wks ago. This might have had something to do with our very own "karate kid" managing to use his "busted" mitt to crush his consultants hand !

He's been back on the bike for a while now, initially riding on smooth asphalt. More recently he's even managed a few miles on our beloved dirt, albeit over gentle singletrack.

I've my knobblies crossed that his sucessful recovery continues and that he'll be 110% for Afan.

Apparently Sickers took another tumble on Sunday's ride and guess what ?...he's bust his other wrist !

Exactly the same injury - doh.

At least he knows how long it'll take to repair :p

Get well soon.
