I went out for short MTB ride on my first day of vacation in 10 months. I hit a front range trail called Dinosaur Ridge knowing it would be dry. I started at Red Rocks and worked my way around to the ridge. Along the way I stopped and helped a guy with a broken chain. You can never have enough good karma. Half way through the Ridge I came down a steep technical section only to be surprised by 5 guys sitting on their bikes blocking the trail. I made a split second decision to turn and avoid hitting all of them and it cost me. I went down hearing a loud pop. None of them offered to help me up or back to my car. I rode out the rest of the trail with one leg and drove myself home. My wife took me to the emergency room so the doctors could tell me that I had a non-displaced fracture of the fibula in my right leg. I’m on crutches for the next 5-6 weeks. Whatever happened to trail etiquette? Or just being helpful. I know I will run into those guys again. I see the ortho doctor on Friday. I only hope for good news. Any advise for recovery other than stay off it?
