Steven Lloyd's Journal, 02 August 2018

No change in set weight...still a few pounds under recorded weight.

Biking is fun,😎 but sometimes it hurts 🤕🤕;

Here is a different before and after pic LOL, first picture taken Tuesday last week, before a 50 mile ride which was cut short at 42 miles by a crack in the concrete which locked up my front wheel....over the handlebars I went at 32 kph (19 mph).

A nice bystander called an ambulance as things weren't looking too good at the time...but in the end very thankful, no broken bones, upper body, head & face all good, but lots of internal bleeding, pretty severe bruising, large hematoma with trauma edema swelling through the lower back, right hip and groin area. Pic from the side taken yesterday, nine days after the spill (NOTE: I deleted the injury pic, spring 2020...it was not pretty).

Be careful out there, 😁😁

Good Lord, Steven! I'm so sorry you are so terribly bruised and swollen. Have you asked a pharmacist about an ointment to help with the bruising? Your local health food store would carry something as well. I used Arnicare Gel in the past.

Oh my goodness! Looks like you need to sit in a tub of arnica cream! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Yep, my husband has even been hit by a car. He had the least injuries with that one. Go figure. Cycling isn't for wimps!

my brother got hit from behind and did a complete flip in the air and landed on the curb..Quite of few motorcycle riders out here in Wisconsin are getting hit also.. You really have to watch where you are riding because people are nuts on the road nowadays. Hope the pain goes away fast.

Yikes - so glad that you were not hurt worse!

Thanks all, still very, very thankful as it could have been much worse, as mentioned above and as some other biker friends have experienced lately. I will be going for a short test ride later today...fingers crossed...hoping that it goes well as I'm booked for a couple hundred km, two day ride in 15 days and would really like to be ready to do it without too much suffering.

Craddock won the Lanterne Rouge in the Tour de France with all his injuries. You can do this. Good luck and safe riding.
