Several years ago, I suffered a crash at a cyclocross race in Grand Rapids. After X-rays and MRIs, it was found that there is a slight fracture on the “greater trochanter” (which is the part that actually impacted when I fell) for which surgery is not needed- simply time and ibuprofen and keep the strain off the bone. Typically full healing is 6–8 weeks. No biking for a few weeks, once I am able to I will begin spinning in the house. Iceman is in seven weeks- so this will be close! I will need to check to see the latest transfer date possible so if I don’t think I should do the event I can sell my entry.
