Two Smokers back road riding... 26/04/06

[Two Smoker]

Hey everyone...

Back on a road bike today... Have pretty good control of the bike... Still cant tuck in behind the bike, but time and physio should fix that... Only doing short rides at the moment... can still hang off the bike, and with a more strength training should be able to hold onto the bike at speed...

Cheers, Chris

[GSVR]

Good to hear. Best exercise for riding a bike is riding a bike I reacon.

[pritch]

Kia kaha and good luck. Take it easy and make haste slowly..

[sugilite]

A big step towards getting back on the track for sure....enjoy!

ahem.... but it aint been 3 months and you know what Chloe threatened you with, if you rode before then... :whistle:


Please take it easy mate... don't over do it...
If you start hurting then get the bike home and rest up...
Dont fuck up your racing career by getting back on the bike too early.


(I can say that, cos I recently have had to, learn that lesson the hard way myself after my accident)

Take it nice and easy Two Smoker.. just ensure that your body is healing and regaining its strength.. just dont over do it and your'll be fine in no time at all.

Good to hear that ya back on the bike though... bet ya missed it =)

[Colapop]

Do some pool work too (Although you probably are). Good for resistance without hurting too much. And stretch. Good to be back on a bike but listen to how you're feeling (physically).

It won't be long before you're tearing it up again!

[Fishy]

What is actually restricting you TS? What sort of injury did you do to your shoulder?

[Two Smoker]

ahem.... but it aint been 3 months and you know what Chloe threatened you with, if you rode before then... :whistle:


hehehe... Nah i cleared it with Chloe first, I then rode to her work on had lunch with her... Im definately going to be taking it easy, and only ride for about 20 mins at a time...

After surgery on my shoulder, they found that my rotator cuff was intact, but they was some muscle damage done to the rotator cuff... Biggest problem with my shoulder is that it needs to be stretched so i have full movement... Biggest problem of all is the nerve damage, which means i do not have full control of my deltoid muscle... aswell as numbness in my forearm and a weird feeling in my fingers...

[Fishy]

Did you do some damage to your radial nerve?

[Matt Bleck]

Chur bro, good on ya.....

[sAsLEX]

[Two Smoker]

I am, just never had a go on it...

[Two Smoker]

My Ulna Nerve is the weak one at the moment... Have the medical reports somewhere...

[Two Smoker]

Be careful ya dickhead, don't hurt yaself, trust me on this one! :no:

At least i waited over a month and a half before i got on a bike :bleh: hehehe... Dont worry, will still be at least a couple of months before im racing, dont want to race when im only at 60%, then crash and end back up at 0% again...

[erik]

Good to hear you're back on the bike :)

Take it easy.

[Motoracer]

Any knee downs yet?

[onearmedbandit]

Good to hear TS, take it easy.

[Two Smoker]

Any knee downs yet?

Came close about 15 mins ago... But ive only got jeans, and im not as keen as KK...

[Mr Skid]

with a more strength training should be able to hold onto the bike at speed.I imagine that could prove a useful skill..

[Scorpygirl]

Take it easy mate but good to hear you are improving. Keep up the good work!!! :ride:

[FROSTY]

be fucking careful !!!!!!!

[Milky]

Came close about 15 mins ago... But ive only got jeans, and im not as keen as KK...

Pussy.

Back in my day we went knee down wearing nothing bar a tea cosy.

[FROSTY]

milky--You havent had your day yet lad --now in my day we used coke cans for scrapers

[Fishy]

Baked Bean cans are better than coke cans Frosty. They last longer and spark real well. I have a night photo I will dig out of me cornering with them on the ground.

If its bruised you'll be fine. You will eventually get all of your function and feeling back.

Have you got a rehab plan set out for you by ACC? They should be able to fund you to see a personal trainer through YMCA gyms. You'll need to work on your flexibilty with stretching and more than likely some external rotation exercises to strengthen up your infraspinatus and teres minor muscles.

If you don't have any joy with some rehab work, give me a PM and I'll point you in the right direction.
