Wohoo back riding, what a GREAT feeling.

[crashe]

Wohoooo I am back riding again...
Yep I know I was supposed to wait til Friday... but it got the better of me.

After putting on all my gear again... plus the m/bike pants that lou gave me, and they are so warm to wear (Thanks Lou)

So off up the motorway, I headed towards the city....
WOHOOOO wow it felt great....

I went to get the tyre pressure's checked out at Motohaus...
since the bike had not moved in the 8 weeks, I had a wee chat with Kerry.

After having done about 20kms I was starting to feel it in my tum muscles.
Thought ouch time to get home....

So I then headed back down the motorway... to grab a couple of things at the supermarket.

So all I have done on the bike today is 38kms.
Now that may not seem a lot but for me today that was heaps...

So I now know that I really have to rebuild up the kms slowly and not over do it. I feel that it may take a little while before I will go and do a long bike run again. But I am ok with the small rides to the shops and back etc.

But I am so glad that I went out on the bike today.

These last 8 weeks have been a long 8 weeks.
But I am now back.... WOHOOOOOOOO.

[bugjuice]

that's great news! And a pretty good day for it too!!
mind how you go, and don't over do it, and welcome back to the road!!!!!!

[vifferman]

Congratulations, crashe!

Take it easy, but enjoy yourself.
Yeah, I know that's probably a contradiction in terms, but this is that kind of thread where it's mandatory to shower the poster in platitudinous drivel... Did I just say that out loud

[justsomeguy]

Couldn't you wait two more days?? Doctors orders and all??

Naughty girl

[Firefight]

Enjoy getting back into it.

[MSTRS:Me]

[TonyB]

Awesome news Crashe! You must be healing quickly!

[crashe]

cheers guys and gals....

Yep I am healing nice and slowly.... but still have a long way to go..
Still no heavy lifting etc....
Just taking it one day at a time...

Now feeling sore and tired after todays little ride, but then I was expecting that to happen... as that happened when I started to drive my car as well.

So its just short wee rides.... and build up the stamina...

Nope I wont be doing the coro loop until at least summer....
