While you were all enjoying yourself on the DustyButt, I had to work most of the day, but just before sunset I managed to get away for an hours exploring in a local forest. Had the Oregon Scientific Actioncam strapped to my leg when a wallaby ran out in front of the bike.... see attached video

Though this would be the best place given the other discussion on this thread about my crash.

I'm out of the brace, dont have to wear any other brace, no physio, just get on with life.

Allowed to ride the bike/play sport etc etc again in 6 more weeks when bone has healed better and muscles better. I've got quite a lot of movements but side to side is limited but in time should be OK.

Thanks for all your help and support over the past 6 weeks.

Cheers R

Wahoo !!

Beers at your house soon then

presuming that your drinking arm isn't paralised after all the dramas

Seriously, that's great news Ryan, as it could be any of us in your position, so hoping we all stay right way up over winter ready for the real serious riding challenges of summer again

Cheers, Stu

Oi you. Maybe I should charge a privilege to store fee! See you on Queens Bday to collect it.

My shed ramp was slippery and I had to take a run-up at it

**Balrog** · 18th May 2007, 23:44

Good to hear you're on the mend cooneyr.
Six weeks ... thats around cold kiwi time. Could be a good test run

Is your bike all fixed or still requiring phisio?

Thanks J. I get the impression that the bike is getting some physio so should be in fine shape by the time I get it back - thanks Nordie.

I'm only allowed to start riding in 6 weeks so ColdKiwi might be a little bit far for a first run. No idea how neck muscles will handle the wind loading yet so will have to ease them back into it.
