I finished 34 sessions of radiotherapy last Wednesday and I’ve just returned from my first (gentle) ride in one piece.
Now all I have to do is regain some fitness and some of the stone and half of weight I’ve lost. 😕

Being back riding is great news Dibbs 🙂

The fitness etc will come in time, I’m sure.

[edit] try spinning a bit more 60 is pretty low cadence 😉

As i’m lost for words I hope you’ll be happy to make do with a bloody big 🙂 from all at MM Towers!

Good on you! 😀

nice one mate.

60 is pretty low cadence

It’s a pretty steep hill and I ran out of gears 😉
I was pleased to get up there without stopping. 😀

you’re forgiven then 🙂

Nice one Dibbs keep up the good work mate & we must have a ‘remission riders’ ride on the Q’s sometime soon …. as long as you wait for me @ the top of the hill 🙂

the stone and half of weight I’ve lost

No one likes a gloater.

😉

Great news!

Fantastic work mate.

Bravo .

Well done as someone whose had treatment I know it can be tough to get fit again, hang in there and listen to your body. Remember that your body’s been though a lot and that rest is a valid part of your training/fitness plan! 🙂

Wow – that’s fantastic news

i can’t even imagine how the first 5 minutes of riding must have felt – good on you pal 😀

I got a spare stone you can have 😳

Well done though

I’ve got a few (ahem 😳 ) lbs you can have too

Good news fella

Slaps back in a not too hard sort of way 🙂

Putting weight back on is brilliant. More cream on your breakfast cereal? I think I might just thank you

I don’t think I could have done better as I am just trying to get back into it and I haven’t just finished radio therapy.

Spectacularly good news, have to see if I can keep up.

Dibbs , Im willing to bet you can still kick my butt around the Qs ! Chuffed for you mate.

Awesome news! Well done fella!

34 sessions of radiotherapy

Presumably you won’t need lights for night-riding then !
Congratulations on getting through that lot

nice one

I’ve just got back from my second ride, it’s taken me 4 days to recover from the first (easy) ride 😳 hopefully it won’t take so long this time.
The radiotherapy has killed a lot of my saliva glands and the dry mouth is quite unpleasant, I think the Camelback will be needed even on short rides.

Well done that man.
You’ve done more miles in a day than I have in a week. 🙂
