oof sorry to hear about your spill Jim, heal up fast. Same thing happened to me a few years ago bunny hopping over some boxed electrical cables under the wobbly bridge late in the evening after the last day of work before chrimbo. Landed on ice and adios front wheel, I slammed real hard and skidded across the path into the railings to rampturous laughter from some peds who said it was the funniest crash they'd ever seen, harumph!
Managed to cycle home but next morning was in agony and I had to drive a hire van 200 miles up to Wales to help my folks move house the next day, I could'nt walk and had to be carried into the hire van place, I'm amazed they gave me the van to be honest, any outward movement of left leg was utter agony but luckily the accelator foot was fine :). It still gives me agro to this day, especially in the cold and I could'nt walk properly for 6 weeks, and I was feckin useless at moving house as had the mobility of a hatstand. Not a very CSB, anyway get well soon.
I did 60 odd miles out in the lanes in Kent today and it was lovely, bit windy but was glorious sun and the lanes were deserted, and thankfully ice free.
