She cannot race for six weeks, but does not need surgery so that’s good news.

Kika just wrote in,  “No travel for me for a while after that crash… I’m feeling pretty pain free so far, so I’m optimistic for a speedy recovery. Bummer to miss the first World Cup though!”

“But I could at least ride away from this one.  I will not be going to the LUNA Summit on April 4-6 after all.”

Catharine later tweeted, “The second worst thing about breaking your collar bone on April 1st is having to convince people it’s not a bad joke.  Thank you for all the notes of support and encouragement.  I’m feeling good and way better off than after last year’s crash. Looking forward to getting back soon!”
