Bloody hell, sorry to hear this.Don't think I mentioned it in this thread which I haven't posted in for a while due to being involved in an RTA last month. Cut off at 25mph, hit two cars, Bianchi totally wrote off and myself being prescribed tramadol from injuries which was definitely a shock to the system given I keep it pretty sober these days. Coming up on a month since it happened so I thought it was due time I got back out, was kind of dreading it since even sticking to bridleways/cycle paths you will have to use roads at some point and as I'm sure most of us will agree (especially if you live in the UK) it takes a long time to build road confidence and a small incident to lose it let alone a massive accident but hey 6am on a Sunday is about as dead as the roads will get.
Had forgotten how slow mtbs are compared to being on a roadie, blows my mind that if you go back to around Jan/Feb in this thread I was hitting 70 mile days on the Inbred. That being said I couldn't really put any good power down due to the bottom end of the cassette being too worn. I did put a new chain on to try and alleviate the skipping it was having after changing it back from SS but the old chain was at .75 and the cassette did about 2k miles including through a british winter so I suspect it's too far gone. Nice to be out but I think I'll be counting the days till insurance comes through and I'm back on 700c again
I've spent almost all of this year avoiding road riding after a friend was killed back in January on a road near us.
I wish you a speedy recovery. Take it easy.
