    While goofing off in the parking lot at Vons I looped the bike on an off camber spot, and somehow got my foot under me in a weird way. I think maybe under the rear wheel first? Not sure.

    Anyway, sharp pain, but nothing obvious. This happens often with me, so I did my usual walked it off and got in the van.

    Did the PCE, had a lot of fun, but took it a little easier than normal because of the sore ankle.

    JJ and I got to the burger joint and it hurt so bad I was at my pain tolerance to walk. We all tolerate pain differently, but this was bad. Ate, talked for a bit, then hit the road.

    I avoided the clutch as much as possible. Fun with some traffic from the end of the long weekend and a stalled vehicle. Got home and iced it, popped some Advil for the swelling, and took it easy. Went to urgent care the next day and...broken fourth metatarsal on the left foot.

    I'm off for a minimum of a week. After that, slow return to training for a month. As long as I am patient and smart (ugh), I'll be back to full fitness in two months. Back on the bike by early February.

    I've been mentally preparing for an injury for a whole, I knew it was coming. I actually still got off easy.

    Only a super tough mf'er can ride the PCE with a broken foot and then drive home with a stick shift afterwards. It's always the stupid stuff that gets us injured. Healing vibes dude.

    Sorry to hear this @Sidewalk injuries suck! Hope you heal up fast!
    I broke my pinky toe completely in two pieces Oct “15, I was able to squeeze my foot into my mtb shoe less than a month later. Didn’t do any damage riding that early, buttttt I wouldn’t recommend ito_O
    Rest easy buddy!:thumbsup:

    Heal up quick!

    What's up with feet this week?
    Just left the Dr and broke my toe yesterday. A clean break. :(

    They gave me one of those nice blue Ortho sandals to wear and crutches.

    Looks like 4-6 weeks to heal. :mad:

    Huh? Is your phone broken along with your toe?

    How did you do that? Drop furniture on it? Kick a cat? Sucks dude. :(
    Maybe you should have ridden with Kevin and me. You may have been safer. :confused:

    Hmmm, you both have cats, and you're both injured. I am seeing a causal relationship here.
