So 2 rides this week has resulted in 2 separate broken bones.
On Tuesday I broke the pinky on the left hand.
On Friday I broke the pinky on the right hand.

It's 5:30pm on new years eve, we all know how shit a year 2016 has been.

Should I risk one last ride for the year?
Or should I say "Fuckit all, I'm going to the pub!"?

 

[stevew]

go to a tea room.

 

[jstuhlman]

SLOW DOWN

 

[DaveW]

SLOW DOWN

I refer the good sir to his own sig.

 

[4130biker]

No more pinkies to break, you're good to go!

Meaning: ride, then Pub it, HARD

 

[jstuhlman]

Good adventures are rarely the result of good decisions.

[4130biker]

Click on that "exogen 4000 bone stimulator" thread that no one will reply to. Therein lies your answer.

@1blindmedic is legit AF, allegedly.

This. Drunk on sparks MTB night-ride on beach cruiser tandem was a revelation for me.

Those are not critical bones. Ride on.

Ride to the pub.

Just did this, I highly recommend. Spent 2hrs riding around in new snow then we rode to the pub. Strange, riding back from the pub with alcohol in my system my toes finally started warming up.

 

[StiHacka]

Perfect time to learn no hands wheelies!

 

[canadmos]

Ride.

Just don't say "one last ride". We all know what happens after that is said... Might as well say hold my beer and watch this.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Ride to the pub.

Careful with that one, that's how I ended up working as a bouncer, unless of course you already dabble in professional thuggery.

 

[4130biker]

So how is 2017? What did you do??

So how is 2017? What did you do??

I am guessing bacon overdose.

 

[Serial Midget]

How would you even know you broke a pinkie? I would think they'd just pop loose at a knuckle and get hammered back in?

That would be a "dislocation" which is what I originally thought.
2 separate doctors have said broken.
So I figure I'll go with their advice, with the little finger there isn't all that much they can do with them except fashion a plastic splint for them and tell me to "try to not knock them again for a while...... Good luck!"

 

[DaveW]

Didn't end up riding last night, got home made a grapefruit G&T and lost motivation at that point.
So I made some cheese stuffed bacon wrapped chicken breast for dinner then went and had some beers.

 

[StiHacka]

Bacon always wins.

 

[4130biker]

Bacon always wins.

You called it!

 

[Westy]

Wrap the finger in bacon.
