I did not break my hand for nothing.
Mine's still sore like a @#$%&@. Fractured and dislocated my thumb going down in an wet and slightly sandy turn, had the cast on for a bit over a month. Day after I got that cast off, I was back on the bike. Felt good to be back on, but was nervous in my corners...and the rain was freaking me out a bit too. Just kept telling myself to relax, and remember all my MSF stuff - slow, look, press, and roll - and get down out of my head about it. It's getting better.
I know what you mean about that brake. I'm 5'10" with size 10s, and sometimes I don't quite get enough of my toe on that brake pedal. Floorboards might help though.
Anyway, think good thoughts. Hope you get your comfort level back.
