I’m now back in training after breaking my left femur and right wrist 4 months ago, and it feels great! As was reported on the site, on the morning of Friday 7th May myself and my teammates set out on a normal training ride of three hours when our group was involved in an accident with a car. Basically, to cut the long story short, the car hit me directly and the outcome was the two broken bones. Obviously I was absolutely gutted, but 4 months on it’s time to get over it and I’ve now been back on the bike for 6 weeks!
I started off slowly, literally doing 30 minutes of riding at a time but now I’ve built up to just over 15 hours a week on the bike, aswell as 2 sessions in the gym.
Obviously I know there’s a long way to go until I’m even properly fit again but its so encouraging that everything is going in the right direction and I know its just a matter of time, hard work and being patient!

If you have all followed one of our bloggers  Hannah Mayo’s  progress in her sport of cycling then you may have heard that she and 4 other members of her team were involved in a car accident in Belgium when a car ploughed into them during a training ride.

All 5 members of the team suffered injuries and because Hannah was on the outside she suffered the brunt of the impact and came off the worst.

Hannah broke both her legs, Lucy Martin suffered cracked vertebrae, Emma Trott sustained a broken collarbone and Katie Colclough was treated for concussion. The fifth rider, Sarah Reynolds, suffered a badly cut chin.

We are told that Hannah and the rest of the team will be returning to this country very soon to continue with their recovery.

All of us here at sportsshoes just want to wish Hannah and the rest of the team a very speedy recovery.

Good Luck Hannah, we are all behind you x
