I'm concious of the fact that this thread might start to piss a few folks off. I understand totally; this is a cycling forum, not somewhere for me to unload how I feel about my unfortunate situation. If people want me to bin it off, please let me know. I think that I'll probably start a blog at some point, and if people want to follow it thats fine.
If you stop updating, we will hunt you down and forcibly sit you in front of your pc to make you.
If this thread does piss anyone off then I would suggest to them that they find another cycling forum to use, only perhaps not so politely.
Great to hear you've had a break and you both enjoyed it so much, that will have done you the power of good I am sure.
