  • So, bit of a gory one, I've cut the end of my thumb off...I had a summer of rides and races planned. I want to keep some level of sanity/fitness, but I also want to keep my chances of healing high, so will be wearing a sling/keeping dry.

    I'm going to get a bike set up on a turbo, what sort of thing should I be doing with the 1hr window I'll likely be getting, is it just a case of Z1/Z2, I'll be in a sling so don't imagine intervals will be doable.

    What experience do people have of this?

  • Only collarbone breaks and riding the turbo in a sling. It's pretty sucky but good to move a bit of blood around. No intervals, I was just spinning the legs over.

  • Shit man, that’s a real bummer. Unfortunately kinda par for the course for us đź« 

    I came out a collar bone break* super fit, just did turbos the whole time. Once your thumb isn’t leaking bodyjam anymore you’ll be fine. Increasing blood flow can’t be bad!

    *the very same collar bone break when you came to the rescue and helped set up the workshop and Lanark!

  • I'd be riding outside right away once it's somewhat healed. You'll be fine I bet. Or just go running.
    Surely you don't need a sling for long? Reminds me of when I fractured my elbow and was riding around outside with a sling for a week or two.
