Recovering from a Broken Femur Over 50 | Sr's RTR Episode. 1

Описание: On May 20, 2023 my dad Mike Murfitt Sr. (aka Sr.) had an incredibly serious & traumatic mountain bike fall which resulted in broken ribs, vertebrae in his lower back, & a broken right femur. This video marks part one of a series that will detail from day one of this injury through all the hurdles & triumphs leading up to him getting on the MTB for his first ride back. In this video, we share moments from the fateful day of the accident, his 6 day hospital stay, & his recovery during the first 77 days following the fall. We wrap up our chat by heading out on gravel bikes for his first bike ride back after this devastating injury where Sr clocked over 14 miles - which was a feat to witness considering the severity of this situation.

We are sharing Sr.'s story in hopes to inspire others to overcome adversity or injuries - because we all fall down & sometimes getting up can be really, really tough. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible through this journey.

Sr has opted into being very vulnerable throughout this whole experience which can be very difficult especially when you're going through something this heavy so I want to thank him for being so resilient & being willing to share his story. We are so thankful for the community around us, friends, & family that have been supportive through it all - it means the world to our family.

Lastly I want to say how grateful I am that this injury was not worse...I love getting to ride with my dad, it's been such a treat getting back out on gravel bikes & I truly can't wait until we're riding in the high country on our mountain bikes together again. Thanks for all the inspiration & for being such a bad ass dad. Love you!

Let's give Sr. a big HELL YA in the comments & we'll see ya out there on the trails soon my friends.
