It is not raining here in Southampton but I don't want to get 30 minutes into a ride and then get soaked*.

Is it raining where you are yet and if so, what time did it start?

*normally I would mtfu and ride through it but with the cast on my leg etc...

Still non weight bearing so I only pedal with the left leg and the battery does the right. Just got to remember to put the correct foot down when I stop. About 20 miles racked up so far, all on road though as I am terrified of putting my bad leg down and doing more damage.

Doc said they weren't amputating so now I just weight for the fusing op. bored stupid of being sat on my arse.

Feedback from today's ride is rinding on wet roads isn't pleasant and your legs get wet and mucky. Also need to modify the right pedal to make it properly wide enough for the cast.
