Sorry to hear about that, man. I did the same thing a few years back and spent 2mos in a cast. Luckily it was winter and riding season was over. I actually strengthened my hand and arm getting back on the bike and riding.

Hope you mend well. Like you said you can get an early start on the winter mods.

I ruptured (detached from the bone) a bicep tendon and elected to not have surgery based on a conversation with my sports medicine doc. I had full strength back in about 6 wks. Turns out there is another muscle in there that does most of the work when you bend your arm. Maybe you'll get lucky and be back in action before you know it.

So now I'm at home on workmans comp waiting for them to call with an appt with a orthopedic surgeon because the ER doc said its most likely surgery for me! Go figure one of the best times of year and now this! Sorry for the rant it might just be the drugs. Lol hopefully I might be able to get a half way early start on my winter mod list though!!! And I did manage to at least get a good couple rides in this weekend.

Sorry bout your injury. They obviously have a break in the mainline sewer also. All that fill went somewhere, usually down the storm sewer. Takes 2 breaks to cause that kind of sinkhole. The water washes the fill into the broken storm sewer.
