The day had all the signs of being good, bright sunshine no wind just bleeding freezing...so wraps up well and off i go............fourteen miles then bump, fiteen miles bump.

I'm feeling really sorry for myself ... and thats the reason for the bottles of beer thats not going to see tomorrow...

It was 38F and sunny here in Ohio. I did a wonderful short 12 mile ride. Even though it was a great ride I too shall take it out on a bottle of tequila.

Ya know, just to warm up the bones.

I'd give just about anything to be ABLE to ride right now, even though the temps & conditions don't lean themselves to a good ride.

Last Wed, 12-9, I was commuting in, hit some ice on the road, bike went sideways, my foot went down to catch my fall, and my L ankle went out on me. Didn't bend or fold over, no broken bones, but a horrible sprain. Yesterday was the first day since it happened that I was able to get out of the house.

Can't wear but one pair of shoes, the one w/ no laces (rigged for easy in/out for mailbox trips, o-o-old! shoes). MTB shoe won't go on the L foot.

It's 52 degrees and gorgeous here. Can't ride until at least tomorrow, though, when, hopefully, my stitches come out. Smoking a pork shoulder in the Big Green Egg instead.

Ouch...bad luck CTD, it sounds painful.

As a matter of interest, where you clipped onto your pedals at the time of the accident.

I rode all morning long. 72 degrees with the sun and breeze. Beautiful day though it's been terrible the past couple of weeks.

Yes, but ATACs disengage easily; I've never accidentally unclipped, or been stuck in them during a fall/crash/unexpected dismount.

The torsion of trying to stop the sliding bike and stay upright (failed w/ the 1st, succeeded w/ the 2nd) caused the injury.

Feeling a lot better now; can actually put those shoes back on now! I'm just 'pokey-slow' walking. Multiple soaks in epsom salts....
