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 🙂

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!
