It will take ages to heal properly and then the skin will be weak and the slightest cut wont be pretty.

Ive got a scar on my right shin, i had a similar accident, was off work for 14 weeks, it was that bad the nurse passed out on the first day of changing the dressing for me. When ever i bike if i hit brambles or anything my left shin its just scratches my right just opens up and bleeds, best thing is to rest and don't try anything daft until the burn has healed. whip

Ouch, that looks nasty.

I know how you’re feeling though; I broke my collar bone on the DH run at the Chase on May 9th and can’t ride for 8 weeks - only another 4 weeks to go Sad
