Coming soon to your RCC website: a 'that's gotta hurt' section. Go dig out your photos of your mountain biking injuries! (Because we all take photos of our injuries, surely? The first rule of Bike Club - unlike Fight Club - is that you can talk about it.)

I've got some before and after the op pictures of my collarbone that'll be up there, plus a shot of a big yellow bruise that I took a couple of days after the crash. 

In too much pain after this to take photos of myself, 6 weeks out of the saddle over the winter 'cos of this crash.

Lesson:- Look where you're going at all times, even if it's sleeting it down at 20mph right in ya face and it's hurting.

(Not looking hurts a lot more)

It made turning left very difficult.

I've got another one like that as well, I'll take a photo of it and put it on here when I get time.

Just seen Dan's shoulder on the gallery, beats mine easily. Respect.

Especially like the meccano inserts, a nice touch, clearly due a role in Transformers III.

Sorry for the delay in responding. We were on holiday, obviously leaving all heavy lifting to Mrs H at the moment. 

Won't visit the fracture clinic until later this month, from what I've read and been told it's usual to just leave it alone and let the body work around this type of injury (”So the arm will just grow back will it?”). It's now a month after 'punching out through the canopy' at the top of Spooky Woods (something like this in my memory… http://www.singletrackworld.co…..nday-times). The shoulder seems to be getting stronger every day, but you can never tell what seemingly trivial movement can still cause 24hours of aching. Hoping to get back on the bike in a couple of weeks for some on-the-flat-work - but possibly need to get the bike spruced back up first. Desperately missing the biking… .or maybe just the excuse for Audrey's cakes on Sundays at Jingleby . Will call into the shop to get a fresh ejector seat and parachute first.
