Bummer, I was finishing a 30 mile morning ride on my Tri-Bike around 10:30am. It had just rained and the road was wet. I made a left turn, the bike skidded out from under me and I landed on my left hip and left shoulder.
I immediately stood up to pick up the bike, I immediately collapsed in pain. I could not walk, ride or stand. In fact, I quickly became dizzy and almost passed out from the pain.
After 10 or 15 minutes of sitting/laying on the grass along side the road, I was able to stand, get the chain back on and ride home at a blazing 8mph. This was good and I still could not walk.
I attended to the road rash quickly with soap/water and Neosporin, then covered the injury with 2nd Skin to keep it mosit.
Unfortunately, I have been in bed all day with a groin muscle pull. Walking is difficult and painful. Tonight it feels a bit better, but I am severly ****** and annoyed as I was scheduled for a 60 mile ride tomorrow with friends.
Anyone have any suggestions to facilitate recovery?
Thanks
