Windham World Cup Finals – More Mountain Bike Videos

A few photos of some local track work that went on this weekend. Looks great! The world needs more trail builders.

MTBCUT’s edit of qualifying at Windham. A few nasty wipe outs in this one. Mik Hannah’s made me feel a bit crook. Poor bugger.

Some pics from this morning’s session. See the rides page for all the rest.

So, after the Orthopedic surgeon’s appointment yesterday I have a plan. Good news is no surgery required. Then the bad news -  10 weeks of frustration ahead:

week 1 – Ortho appointment, pain killers, ice twice a day, keep the f@cking thing still.

week 2 – repeat steps 2 through 4 above.

week 3 – New x-rays to check healing is going ok. Visit Ortho to make sure shit is going to plan.

Week 4 – If healing start physio, if not healing plan surgery.

Week 5 – More physio, try to work out if anything else is wrong with my shoulder.

Week 6 – More physio, start swimming

Week 7 – Bone is strong enough to ride but not strong enough for contact sports or a crash. Ride at own risk.

Week 8 – See week 7

Week 9 – Should be back on deck with depleted muscle strength in upper body. Begin riding and building strength.

Week 10 - Shred.

Get a bicycle.  You will not regret it if you live.
