Sorry about the bad news, and best wishes for a quick and complete recovery!
I am intrigued by your injury, as there is no such thing as a radial head of ulna, radius and ulna being separate bones. Could both bones be fractured? That's a harsh punishment for a what seems a rather benign fall. Osteoporosis makes our bones more fragile, and although it tends to be considered as a typical menopausal condition it can also occur in men our ages, I suggest you ask your favorite doctor if there are any signs of it on your X-rays.
Otherwise undisplaced fractures of the radial head heal usually completely and without much consequences in about 6 weeks, be brave (you already proved it with your long ride with a broken elbow) and patient and keep us posted!
