Was awaiting hearing back from a 2nd interview for a new job I really wanted (need)
It was lovely day so I thought id go out for a cheeky ride to boxhill rather than twiddle my thumbs waiting for the phone to ring.
Was making great progress on my new carbon wheels, the sun was shining - life was sweet.
Riding moderately because I know the quiet road im on is a bad surface.
but was distracted for a moment and a small undilation threw me off balance.. as i'm going slowly and not wanting to scuff my new rims - I though id play it safe, control the stack and put my legout.
CRUNCH I get up and find walking is rather hard.. after a few meters I start feeling a little light headed and decide to lie down in the road.
My ankle has blown up like a balloon - luckly a nice lady appears and rings me an ambulance.
I've never broken anything before and consider myself instructable so I was hoping its just sprained at this point but the Xray confirms it.. Badly broken ankle in two places after being resett.. I have a metal plate fitted.
Didn't hear nothing about the job neither.
Can anyone reassure me its possible to return to a good level of cycling after a busted ankle?
