Only 2 and a bit hours worth, get up early and still keep the day.
Will save myself for some sunday poootling (after i recover from the 5AM GP!)
sunday Qs ride ......
Dibbs.
Consultant was great....
I turned up there with little or no pain, just a slight ache in fact.
He asked me to stand, then he poked his finger into the broken bit of bone which made me wince a lot, he stroked my shoulder and asked if i could feel it ok, asked me to move my arm at the elbow which i did.
"ok" he said, "i'll see you back here in 5 weeks, we'll do an x-ray and see if it's knitted back together, if not we'll need to look further into helping it repair."
Nice!!!!! Money talks eh?
hope you make a speedy recovery Sharki!
Charlie/Andy Saladdodger would be great to come down to the Quantocks this weekend - stuck in reading with admin/work sadly 😥 still grinning from last weekend though 😆
Was thinking of going up there on Sunday but it'll be my usual early 'o' clock.
looking sunny up there now ...
Father-in-law is ill so that's put an end to my Somerset excursion. Might nip up there for an afternoon in the week though.
May I ask, is Smith's Combe rideable at the minute? Haven't ridden it for ages.
The rangers are aware of it's state and as of this week they should be making an effort in clearing up the rest of the damage made by the snow......
There was a tree down in the stream crossing in smiths as well as numerous fir tree branches on the main bumpy bit, it is ridable but not in the usual manner.....the single track was clear though, the climb out is still the same and makes it one of the less liked DH's for many locals, but it still remains a classic trail for so many tourists..
The amount of dead sheep down there may have something to do with why we don't go down there much.......
