Get to a Specialist Biomech Podiatrist. Tennis Ball rolling is no good for tendonitis, thats better for plantar fasciitis. Eccentric stretching has really good results in building strength back in the achillies. You really should get this seen to, if it was corrected before using ‘cheese wedges’ then it sounds like a corrective for pronation pulling that achillie out of line…far too tech for me to go into detail here…. not enough time and patients waiting!

You’ll go blind.

The large chocolate muffin i had for lunch that the missus will never know about.

Can you get out with a local road ride? Good to get some experience first. Groups like this usually help out a newbie but riding in a group is not as simple as it looks.

New 5m bell tent just arrived. Looking forward to using it. Easier and quicker to pitch, warmer at night and cooler during the day. Two other tents, both Vangos, one 8 man, the other a 3 man, broke poles last year.

There is always need for pants at that age!

It means they just ‘whip em right off’ before i’ve had time to dive for the door! :cry:

Then i take it you’re not in a familliar way with simonb512 then emsz? He seems to have one hell of a private life! :wink:

Im off for a tuna salad……..

Roadies would be shaved………… :?

Agreed grevioustim, but the last thing you need on a friday when the sun is out and the trails beckon are repetitve octagenarian gray growlers being flashed at you .. its not pleasant!

Oh the joys of the NHS.. your time will come carlphillips!

Border here….

Big life change after serious spinal injury. End of carreer, relationship, lost the family home (but kept the bikes and the van). Now have an amazing job, good pay, great new bike… new dirty girl…stilll working onthe house tho..

I didnt really have a choice as i thought i wouldn’t make it through the Op, but wouldnt change a thing!

Lemon and sugar.
It’s the law……..

perhaps get Mrs Grips to do the Waybuloo Yoga if you want to get ‘sweaty, out of breath and tired’? 8O

Any other uses for a numb hand? 8O

thesurfbus… You have enough left to bottle it? 8O

Plenty of stuff on t’interweb, car jack press works fine… started testing the first batch last weekend, fell of the bike on the way home from the allotment! :oops:

depends where you are. chit the earlies now and aim to plant them middle to end of March. Plant the main crop in april, chit them first although to be honest chitting spuds will posibly only advance the crop by two weeks.

Dont pollard it, it wont work on a cherry and you could be liable for the cost of the tree, also only prune it in mid summer, stone fruit trees pruned in winter, or no leaf, when the sap isnt rising are prone to a disease called ‘silver leaf’.

If it was to succumb to sabbotage :wink: one dark night, then it would have to be felled! :wink:

Separate bikes is the way to go. Carbon race, Aluminium Training, Steel fixed winter steed.

Jeez.. Really feel sorry for all the hell you’re going thru

….. que Simon Bates Golden Hour background music….

Very similar things happened to me, total meltdown. 6 years later new great job, new girl, new bike (!).. and to top that i’ve just learnt i will be a Dad all over again!

You just gotta find a way to keep going…….

Legends! The lot of you! I now have to go back to treating patients and somehow stop laughing…… :lol:

If you can swim for 30 mins and ride hard for two you’ll be fine.

No pie for you tonight? :wink:

Thursday patients in Minehead are very smelly.

Not me, but a friend of mine, whilst riding the Quantocks sliced his achillies tendon on his chainring whilst twisting it out of his spd. I rode back to the his van to return with it to pick him up but in the meantime he had frewheeled down Holford Combe, and i found him sat outside the pub with a pint! 8O

I had a choice…one toothbrush at a time and 3 photos, or all at once and one shot….. 8O

Uni rented roomshare with 3 of the dirtiest housemates imaginable. No amount of ballbusting would get them to clean up their s**t.

Posted them a polariod photo of their collective toothbrushes stuck up my a**ehole…

Photo was posted 3 months after i left! :twisted:

Joined Tri club, became a coach, bought shiny new carbon race bike, had serious spinal injury, now have carbon fibre cage keeping spine in one piece… given moniker by the lads after first club run following recovery!

Thought of any names yet? :D

…..should keep this thread running a bit longer!

Congrats! :D

dan1980, thought i would bother to reply but the waiting room is filling up.. busy, busy, busy..

WTF why not.. 4.5 stone to lose by June 8O

Orange R8 pro… lovin it.

Peugeot Expert, loads of space but will not do 600 to the tank laden!

The bike wont run out on you, wont look at you accusingly from a late night with the boys, wont insist that 30 pairs of shoes are a human right, hasnt got a mother! Cant burn the toast, or get a headache.. or gossip about you to its mates …..and is ALWAYS up for a dirty weekend!
