Sorry to hear that.
I tore 2/3 of my left tendon dismounting on Mackenzie pass in 2016, I caught my cleat on something and did a weird turning fall that I wish was video'd. Walking on it was almost impossible making tendering food and such a real chore. I stopped and iced very often. An Indian lady came up to me at one of those gas station/food stores on reservations and told me she was a medicine lady and could she look at it. Turns out she was a PT and deals with a lot of mountain ultra runners who partially tear the achilles. So, I can really relate. This was pretty painful to ride on but surprisingly, walking was worser.
