Broken clavicle?
i kinda wish it was. broke collarbone on other side years ago, was pretty straightforward. had a weird crash this time, all impact on point of shoulder. left clavicle is intact but not really connected to rest of shoulder any more, feels a little ordinary! Grade 5 AC joint disruption according to doc, seeing surgeon later today.
 
I feel some of your pain. I broke 3 ribs about a week ago, just as I was getting fit for the Aussie summer.
Hope it doesn't take too long to heal. I haven't managed to get to Thredbo for three years due to breaking bones in summer. This time at least I should have time to heal.

The HD3 continues to amaze me with it's versatility.

I've ridden it on lift access Double Black Diamonds at Winter Park, I've raced an Enduro race at Steamboat... and I've ridden very, very mild XC rides (think trails where people are riding XC hardtails, fat bikes and everything in between).

It literally does everything that I want it to do. "One Bike"

Just returned from 4 full days of riding in Moab, UT. The HD3 performed flawlessly on many miles of super tech rock climbs/drops with lots of square edges, sustained climbs, fantastic drops (some techy slow, some top gear launches), incredible downhill singletrack and everything in between. Over 100+ miles of Moab's best and nothing but smiles. Snow covered the top of Burro Pass and Hazzard of the Whole Enchilada, but the rest was in great condition (pic is Porcupine Rim above the Colorado River). I used every bit of 2x11 XT drivetrain and really appreciate not having to switch between 'pro-pedal' and open that were necessary on my previous FSR bikes. Almost everyone stopped to ask about this bike. I love it.
