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?

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.

I sat on the bike just now, static and it felt fine. My primary concern is in the event of an off, kids and job are important too, so I'm being unusually conservative. But whilst I've got a week off both I think I'll do longer turbo z1/Z2. Then take it from there.
