Yeah. I basically got told off for finishing the ride. It's a lot more swollen than it was, but the x-rays showed that nothing was broken (Bar my will to live during the 5 hours in A&E). I've been given some antibiotics and a tetanus shot and told to take pain killers as and when needed.
In reality, I think it'll be alright in a day or seven, I can't put any weight on my leg yet as it's feels like the joint is pulling in all the wrong places but I think that is likely due to the swelling impeeding the movement rather than anything else more sinister.
Still. At least I have people at work bringing me cups of coffee ;]

dogsballs where's object's top tube protector?????
Don't worry. It's back on the bike again which is currently more than can be said for me. The doctor thinks I'll be off the bike for 2-3 weeks, I've taken that to mean bikepolo on Sunday ;)
Does anyone know if crutches are allowed to be used as polo mallets? -

Hey guys/gals,
Awesome ride all in all. Hope 50*14 heals quickly, though forgive me if I'm a little spiteful.
Parts of the ride were very surreal and will stick in mind for a very long time (i.e. Watching the beautiful sunset over Brighton whilst cycling along from the top of ditchling beacon to ditchling road, with no one else in sight, was idyllic)The leg's fucked, though that's to be expected. I'll likely be off the bike for a week or two and am rocking the crutches at the minute.
Still, we made it. What more could I ask? I think I proved to myself how
stupidstubborn I can be at times. I'm very glad I finished the ride as it would have been a shame to wimp out.Thanks to all who came and made yesterday what it was.
Looking forward to the next one.
