They told me I'd fractured a rib or two when I came off the bike after hitting a sheep past the Highwayman. (Sheep was unscathed, but the bike mangled which was my main worry as it wasn't my bike).
It hurt quite a bit in cetrtain positions - twisting / turning, and sitting / lying down mostly, but strangely not much whilst walking and running, so I carried on as normal, but perhaps eased off a bit on the steep descents, as I didn't want to fall.
Docs didn't have too much to offer, other than 'if it hurts don't do it it's probably making things worse'. After 4-6 weeks and I didn't really notice it. Good luck !
Well done Phil and Brian by the way !
