we also rode with Bartz and Sammi on the outward bound. Coming back was sooo cool. Those puddles are a blast on the whoops ay, huuge spray everywhere.
Bartz gave Hemi a good roostering, a bit below the belt tho', Hemi wasn't even on his bike!

OB is the blue track on the right just before you get to the end of the 2way road. It takes you all the way up to the big dipper or you can break off halfway and do a return green track.

haaha I wish that were the remedy.... thankfully I never consulted Dr. OldStools...

Lets see, ill do a couple more rides and if its only this bad then forget it, but if it can go to levels which I cant bear, then cut me up Dr.Green thumb..

I've sprained my thumb playing squash, windsurfing, waterskiing, bike riding and the thing in common is I'm holding onto a handle of some description. And it's always been when I've stopped the sport for a while and getting back into it again. When your muscles aren't conditioned (for holding onto a handle) your hands tend to overgrip and you get arm pump. That's what you were complaining about yesterday right.
Let the thumb inflammation settle down for a week or two and strengthen that hand/wrist doing some rehab training on a 10lb dumbell or the like.
So what I meant before was, ride more, stay in condition and you're less likely to sprain it....once it's healed that is!!!

Problem is..its not just a simple muscle sprain mate... thats something I can handle...This is a stretched ligament, partially torn and no amount of time will heal a stretched, torn ligament... The arm pump is not a concern at all... Even just riding doesnt hurt the thumb too badly, it was the spill which had the bone sticking out of the socket which caused the pain... no amount of seat time or exercises will sort that out... its a 'deeper' issue

How'd you hurt it? Was it when you pulled it out your arse and actually took your bike for a ride rather than talking about it, soft cock????
