Had a fall - that ended my ride yesterday - doing a 21 miler around Hayfield in the Peak District - down hill section - loose rocks, over bars landing on a rock .....

Nice 'egg' on my thigh - day 1 (Sunday) after the ride ......




:?

Knee !





Day 2 - the swelling has spread out and turned a lovely shade of purple !!




Bloody extreme sports !!

Matches your tat, glad you don't shave your legs

Ok. So you have shown us your sore leg but you've not shown us what stopped your ride

BigAirNig

Well that thigh injury made it very painful to use & weak too

combined with my pedal smashing my right calf - meaning I could barely put any weight on it - still can't now - so that was that.

I had something very similar a few weeks ago. Massive lump and a proper dead leg. It loosened up enough once moving but if i stopped it seized solid and then killed for days after.
It was the bruised sternum and ribs that kept me out of action for 4 weeks.
Must learn to jump at speed

wow bet that hurts, is the bike ok or was it a really bad day and the bike took damage to :?

BigAirNig

Bike seems OK - little bit of brake rub (disc) but that may be dirt - so see if it goes when I clean it !?

Nothing else obvious..... thing is - it was only a pretty slow accident thankfully, so hope bike is OK. Will check it over fully when I feel less pain and hence can be bothered.

Honest I do feel the pain though of that bruise, I had one like that one, but on me arse! lol

JamesBrckmn

ouch. i feel your pain

i had a green and purple bruise almost that big on my knee, about 2 months ago after i landed badly and crashed on a jump and smashed my knee into my top tube and my head into the dirt, and boke my helmet. had a tennis ball sized green and purple patch for at least 2 weeks, but yours looks worse.

interesting how the comments here vary from those on STW

Cool bruise

jairaj

Wowza that's a bruise and a half! The girls have to be impressed with that! hope it gets better soon.

With those hideous tattoos, the bruises almost seem artistic. Well at least they tone in with the pretty colours.

Get well soon
