I have heard joining British Cycling has benefits that can include recommendations for insurance and possible discounts, as well as back if for someone crashing in to you etc, haven't done it myself though.

As for getting back into riding, the timeline can vary depending on how well your ankle heals and how diligent you are with your physical therapy. It's important to listen to your body and not rush things. Your doctor will be able to give you a better idea of when you can start riding again.
In the meantime, focus on your recovery and finding things that bring you joy. And hey, if you ever need some distraction or advice, feel free to reach out. We're all here to support each other through these tough times!

When you break a bone its going to be at least six weeks. I was trampled by a horse and had a fracture in the top of my foot.

A little over 2 weeks ago, I went out for an evening walk with my father. A bit of the pavement was uneven, and I took a bad step, rolled my ankle, and snapped off the tip of my fibula.

I went to emergency the next day and was placed in a walking boot, although told not to bear weight. Follow-up at the fracture clinic the next week concluded that the type of break I have would heal better in a cast, so my lower leg is now encased in fibreglass. Can't bear weight until the cast comes off, then I'm told I can transition back to the boot. All told, I'll be off my feet for roughly 8 weeks minimum.

Does anyone have experience with this? I am really struggling with boredom and just the frustration of not being able to do very much. Also super disappointed at the presumably long timeline to get back to riding - does anyone know how long I can expect to be out of the saddle, and how long it will take to gain back the strength and flexibility I need to ride?

If you're thinking about buying land out of state, that could be a good option to explore, especially if prices are more reasonable. Before making a decision, be sure to conduct thorough research and carefully consider all relevant factors.
And hey, if you're still unsure, it might be worth talking to a real estate agent. I know they can be pricey, but they can help with all the paperwork and give you some insight into the market.
Meanwhile, I've been considering a move to Dubai to start my own company. Places like Oasis by Emaar seem like they could be a great fit. It's all about finding the right opportunity, wherever that may be.

Hey! My living room furniture is a mix of cozy and chic pieces. Recently, I added a gorgeous sofa from Furniture Lux, and it's become the focal point of the room. Their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship really shine through. Paired with a couple of accent chairs and a sleek coffee table, it creates a welcoming atmosphere perfect for lounging or entertaining guests.

That's a great question and we're glad we bought it about a year and a half ago. Most indication is that property values are probably going to continue to rise, maybe not as sharp though, over the next 18 months.
