Monday I was evacuated by boat from my house. The water was deep enough the boat pulled right up to my front door and was floating.
All my bikes are in the garage in possibly as much as 5 ft of water or more
Water most likely won't recede for weeks.
I just put new tires on my commuter, too. Argh.

tough stuff @the sci guy. Hope you can bounce back from the damage in a reasonable amount of time.

Today I stood out of the saddle for the first time while riding fixed gear on rollers.
The standing and pedaling part wasn't too bad. The sitting back down part was sketchy.

Does this trigger anyone? Today I used leftover bar tape to re-wrap the side that got scraped up in my incident with the deer:

Keep in mind that 1 geared mile = 1.25 fixed gear miles.
Or something like that.

It also depends on where/how you're riding. A mile on the track goes by a lot faster than a mile on the trail, por ejemplo

Got back from PT at lunch. This was in regards to my MTB crash on 8/18. Fortunately pedaling is OK but there is still limited ROM and pain with certain movements. I've had to learn to clip in/out with my other foot for example, because twisting is no bueno.
There is no ligament damage or fracture, just some deep contusion (bruise) in the tissue and bone that will take 4-6 weeks to heal. I've been doing <2 hr rides with easy and (short) hard bits without issue.
I'm gonna take the next few weeks to focus on strengthening, stretching and massaging whilst slowly ramping up the volume to where I want it to be. I'm lucky that I dodged a serious injury and don't want any long-term complications. I'm confident that I'll be healthy and up to full volume by the time we're through with fall.
Plus it's the off season! Time to swim, go to the beach, play more piano and maybe sleep in like a normal person. I'll be back whoopin' ass by the time I start pinning numbers on again and it actually matters to me
