back to no bike ... had thnought that 2 stents had fixed the angina,
sadly not the case 🙁
My kids are away with grandparents for ten days, my beloved wife who I really though understood my need to get out cycling in this fantastic weather announced "We are decorating the kids bedroom for when they come back" I'm now painting in blistering heat as the sun is pouring in through the kids bedroom window. It's just not on.
Im on day 25 of recovery from a hip replacement, ive got a while yet before im back on the bike. Went for a walk today using 1 crutch, only managed about half a mile and suffering a bit now.
Seeing as I started the thread 😀
Back to regular riding and nearly regular fitness, just in time to join a regrouping of the 2016 Prostate Cancer Awareness Ride that me and some pals did this time last year, with a great write up by Sanny.
10 of us in Cairngorms for 4 days riding this weekend, forecast looks brill ! Look out for Sanny's pics post weekend 🙂
Small beans compared to some on the thread, but fractured elbow means probably another 5 weeks off the MTB at least.
SO looking forward to a few weeks on the turbo...
4 weeks until hip replacement surgery . Can hardly get on a bike at the moment so this summer is pretty well written off cycling wise .
30 minutes of sweaty turbo rehabbing patella tendonopthy, seven weeks since last having a proper ride
I'm half way through a month offshore and missing my mtb.
I've made it worse by putting a nice picture of my bike posed in the lake district on my desktop.
Trying to keep fit with weights and a knackered out concept2 rowing machine.
Stepped down off something earlier and my foot cracked. Went down like a sack of spuds and can't put any weight on it, and have a large lump near ankle.
Hopefully it's just a strain and the weekend off, a break will screw Tweed Love and the rest of the summer
Full of man flu at the moment. Can't even think about riding in this lovely weather, grrrr.
turned up for a mtb ride last summer to find my dropper post stuck down. Being a gentleman and not wanting to spoil my mates ride out, I soldiered on for 3 hours with a seatpost far too low. Right knee hasn't been right ever since, rested it over the winter, but first time in 7 months cycling 6 miles on the canal to work a few weeks ago right knee was still complaining. Been out walking in the Dales the last three days and today it seemed a bit better, might try cycling to work tomorrow.
Torn ac joint plus a 6 week old baby are preventing me doing much atm. Can barely do a nappy change.
Broke two metacarpals in my hand right at the start of this patch of nice weather - hey ho. At least I was riding my bike at the time.
Spent 90 minutes trying to reassemble my FS. Ran out of time for a ride, hopefully get out tomorrow evening assuming I can get the rear mech on without buggaring up the threads and then get it shifting.
3 weeks training, 3 weeks of wind and showers.
Now its a rest week and the Sun is out - typical!
Been off for two weeks now after being hit by a car driver and breaking my back in two places (L1&L3). Home from hospital and can walk a bit but not far.
Will be off the bike for a couple of months I think. My tan lines are going to disappear 🙁
Positive and healing vibes going out to those going through the mill above.
I don't have cancer - so not sure I'm entitled to post.
I do have a horrible cold though. I'm currently boiling my nads off inside trying to decorate the children's bedrooms.
Serious case of Manflu here with a chest infection. Although I may go for a walk later before the Giro starts to get some fresh air between hot & cold sweats...
If only I could, as I have a serious quad strain that'll keep me off the bike for a few weeks. 🙁
not been able to ride since beginning of February due to c6-c7 disc prolapse. Never felt pain like it. Recovery is progressing slowly following lots of various treatments - however I keep trying the turbo which sets me back. On the plus side my bikes are all very shiny as I am cleaning them a lot by way of minor compensation.
Look after back/necks people. And stay off trampolines - it may be damn good fun with the kids but that stops when you get it wrong and whiplash your neck.
