After five years and three ops I put the old Kona back together today. Not at all looking forward to tomorrow.

Best of luck.

If the physio-terrorist has given you his/her blessing, that’s got to be a good thing.

keep on keeping on mate………. 8)

Hope it goes well- I remember the feeling immediately before getting back on the motorbike after my big break, not knowing if I could still do it, if I’d still enjoy it, if I’d even be physically capable of riding it… A scary day but a great one. Hope it works out as well for you as it did for me!

I’ve always run with doing the total opposite to whatever the quac….*cough*….physio says.

Seems to have worked out fine so far.

hope all goes well, you will be sooo chuffed it you get a fun ride

Never been on an MTB ride I didn’t enjoy. So go…enjoy

enjoy the first ride after I bust my knee up last year was the best ever, even if it was only 1 mile, just being able to ride again was superb 😀

Take it easy and enjoy.

How long after the first ride til the upgrading process starts? I reckon at least until after you’ve showered 🙂

No need to ugrade this bike, it is the perfect bike already.
Wish me luck I’m off out

Good luck, and remember to enjoy yourself! 🙂

hope you get back in once piece and have enjoyed yourself 🙂

Well a twenty min pootle along the Thames path and nothing bad seems to have happend. Hips felt a little odd but no serious pain like before. Will try again wednesday night.

well played 🙂

Well done. I’m waiting for a hip replacement next month and have a new bike sitting in the garage nagging me to be ridden. Keep it up… And yes you do need a new bike 🙂

Good stuff…….think you’ve earned a brakes upgrade at least!

Good man. It’s not a nice feeling knowing that an activity you love has the ability to inflict so much pain, yet I found the stress of that possibility melting away after a few minutes of pedaling. Remember to stretch afterwards !!!!!!

Good stuff…….think you’ve earned a brakes upgrade at least!
