Bad news - get well soon chap.
As with the famous Bionic man 'They can rebuild him'

Poor Sharki

Oops

Get well soon. Must be the weekend for doing yourself damage

it's just a bone, i'll be back on asap. It could be worse i could be without a job and home....errr bugger. I'm still in a&e that's 2hrs now...waiting room is packed, not much eye candy either...knottie wouldn't take pics of it either, hopefully i can post a copy of the xray.

Knottie didnt like the look of it ! But todays pics came out nice .

shit luck dude, that sucks

try to keep a check that it heals with the bone aligned as a couple of friends have healed with a horrendous step to it requiring surgery and pins/plates later on, speak to the consultant about a figure of eight traction strap to pull you into correct posture to aid healing - i know jack shit - just useful tips from others

get riding soon

Unlucky mate. Heal quick.

Get & tidy that garden up,you can still do it with one arm 😉
*sends healing vibes too*

thats my garden but he's welcome to do a bit of tidying...lol .We were having such a lovely ride aswell !

Can we have the full details ?

Muppet.

Doh get well soon m8

Best wishes buddy .Good job it was a relaxed ride or else you might have proper hurt yourself!Can we go for a ride while you have the sling i might keep up with you . 😉

Get well soon Sharki.

What happened ?

Ouch! Heal real soon!

well just after the rock garden at slaughterhouse combe there is a flat bit. Shane went off first and I followed. I came over the brow to find him on his knees. I thought he was going to take a photo until I got closer ! After removing his camelbak it was clear his collar bone was bust, poking up under his skin. A few miles from the car too ! Looks like his rear wheel hit a rock and threw him over the bars. I made him a sling out of my jacket and we walked back then drove on to A&E. Bummer.

get well soon mate. hope you'll be ready for the summer..........

Bad luck mate! Particularly after your heroic SS riding on Saturday!

Here's hoping you heal quickly, and are back on the trails soon 8)

I can't remember if sharki is left or right handed....

get sorted soon you old turnip

healing vibes!!

Ouch.

Healing vibes.
I did mine last march and was back by the summer.

Remember to make sure everybody knows how rad and on the edge you were being when you did it.

Unlucky mate, all the best..

🙁

Get well soon mate!

Obviously missing my steadying influence, get well soon mate.

ohflippin'eck Sharki, bad luck. ask for a mid-term physio appointment if it's not offered, on the basis of your occupation, and because you ride. female physios are frequently quite tidy IME...

thanks all, i've got the fracture clinic on friday, hopefully they'll plate it as at the mo it's not inline and there's quite a step there....
Just as i was starting to feel my fitness was getting there too...
Chunky, i'm right handed!
Expect to see me out on the trails walking and taking pics alot over the next month or so..
How did it happen?
Not giving 100% concentration on a fast bit of single track, out of the saddle on the flat didn't spot a large rock in the ground, forks eat it up, rear suss didn't, with, slight weight forward position the rear kicked up fast, i had no time to react, landed on shoulder, smashing down on the side of my head, slight crunching noise on moving said enough, and on touching my collarbone the break was prominent...then knottie caught up;-)

oops 😕

Jeez Sharki - sorry to hear - thats unlucky after such a great day yesterday. The highs and the lows eh! Will lean a bike on a post to conjure healing vibes Quantocks stylee - apparantly the solution to anything - get well soon chap.

Just get your sorry behind up here sharki - you will be fine on the back of the tandem with one working arm. I promise not too many "interesting" trails

Get better soon Sharki! You don't know me, but I know what it's like to not ride through injury! Get it mended!

didn'y see a gyrt stone bedded into the ground, forks ate it up, rear suspention didn't, so rear wheel got kicked up in the air,
i was out of the seat winding up speed on a flat sectoin of slaugherhouse so my weight was slightly forward, no time to shift weight back

i landed somewher e on my shoulder i assume, tnen ****ted the side of me heed and now i have to try to type left handde.

it's not funny look at the typingf

Ouch!

My words exactly....

Sharki - I'm currently nursing a broken clavicle from 4 weeks ago so my sympathies. It's unlikely they will plate it - mine was in a similar position to yours but it's slowly getting better, there was talk of them having to chisel a bit of the bone off but that appears to be not the case anymore thankfully!

Is that the shoulder that's already messed up ?

busted mine several times when off road racing motor cycles so know
the feelings .... Get well soon mucker.

Poor Sharki. Least you didn't do that with all us lot watching!

If you fancy e-mailing me your address I'll send you some healing cakes. Address in profile.

Would FS have helped? 🙂

Ow!

only as a skill compensator/............
but that not riding for me.

State of that garden. Tidy it up ffs, it's a mess!
