  Looks like my riding season might be over for this year. I broke the bone in my left foot for the small toe. Will take at least 8 weeks before the cast comes off... :'(

You can't make some 'adjustments' to the cast ?

Hey Darrell...you should know that Deborah would be able to bounce out of the way before you could kick her.  :D  Heal fast and well brother.

Know what you mean, I broke the first metatarsal on the left foot a few years ago.  Took a while, but worked out ok, still have a couple of screws in there.

It seems to me that if you have a cast your covered.  Boot not required.  Good air circulation available.  Just saying.

Good luck and heal up proper.

Heal fast, Darrell.  In eight weeks you might be able to get in a ride before the snow flies.

Sorry, Darrell, can you swap bikes with Deb for a couple of months or so? Do you have enough flex in the ankle to shift? Hope you heal fast. I didn't ride when my 5th metatarsal fractured, but it was wintertime, and I was rebuilding the forks. I'm sure Deb will take you out for a ride...

Whooray

So sorry to hear. Hopefully you will heal a lot faster than 8 weeks.

Darrell, do what the Doc says and get well quickly.

Wait, do what Lil D says also.
