Hey, I’ve followed your site for a few years now. This is the first I’ve checked back in over a year. I too broke my hip in Sept of 08 on Mt Diablo, probably Karma as I was poaching a section near Rock City. Nonetheless, your experience mirrors my own, including denial that it was broke and I was still going to make it to Downieville the following weekend. I can still hear the X-ray technicians in the back room with a quiet but somber “ooooooohh, wow”, door closed on riding anytime soon. Here are just a few picts (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2008948). I still get squeamish looking at the post surgery X-Rays in all their titanium glory (permanent rod, pin, and screws). Needless to say, I am back on the bike, I’ve aquired a singlespeed, and am slightly more focused on various rides. I ride with a pair of Fox Launch Padded Shorts full time, and have 90% mobility back. Although, that day your children can outrun you in a foot race has come sooner than expected.

Keep Riding!

Dude! I had 38 of those in my back when I had surgery in 2006. Not fun. I waited for the doc to pull them out. He took longer than you (seemed that way)! It was 2 years before I felt good. Now I can’t stay off my bike. Get well soon.

Cool. I pulled the stitches out of my knee myself. It was awesome! Way more fun to do it yourself. Almost as fun as picking scabs. You guys coming to my pump track party?
