    I have, today, been advised my Hospital staff to desist from
    TT and Road racing. This has come as a great shock, after
    sufferring chest pains in a recent 30 mle TT.

    As such, it is with some regret that I have a few month
    old Tacx i-Magic which will sadly never be used to its
    fullest capacity.

    If anyone is considering purchasing one of these, mail me
    and I am sure we will be able to come to some agreement so
    that it can be used as it should be.

    It is an amazing bit of kit, specs of which can be found on
    most cycling shop sites.

    It has only been used 11 times, and has never left my
    dining room. As such, it is in "as new" condition, and is
    even still covered by some remaining warranty. It has an
    old Battaglin racing bike attached, which I will let go
    with the trainer.

    If interested please mail me, and I will give you a contact
    number so we can speak.

    That's very sad, Slapster : I sincerely hope you make a full
    and speedy recovery. ** Phil.

    Sorry to hear that, but I'd get a second opinion. Surely
    touring is just as strenuous when you get to a steep hill? I
    wouldn't expect the majority of hospital staff to know
    diddly squat about cycle racing.

    I would belay that order for the moment. Exercise is a key
    component of managing or recovering from heart disease these
    days and cycling is an excellent way of doing so. When you
    say hospital staff do you mean hospital staff or your
    consultant? If it is the former it may just be precautionary
    until you have had a full work up and the consultant has
    been able to advise you. I bet you will be back on the bike
    in future though. There are loads of people out there
    cycling with heart disease or on heart medications.

    Good luck.

    Thanks to all for the kind words.

    Zog, went on the treadmill this morning - all hooked up to
    various electric gadgets (my hairy chest has suffered
    immensely - dont know how women do that waxing thing!!!) I
    have now been advised to use a heart rate monitor and to
    continue cycling, setting a limit of 170 bpm. Obviously the
    ethos being, on touring/pleasure rides, I can slow
    down/stop/walk/etc if needed, whereas in a TT there is no
    way i would be able to keep the rate down below 170 bpm when
    "going for it". As such, whereas I did, as you suggest,
    think about a second opinion, the problem, even if the next
    Doc said "OK, fill `yer boots, no problems here", I would
    still wonder..........

    As the incomparable Mrs Slapster says as she took the
    cheroot from her mouth and spat out the chewing tobacco,
    "You aint taking the chance - as far as racing goes,
    thats yer lot".

    Who am I to argue? Reckon she must love me just a little
    bit!! I am still keeping he Litespeed though - that would be
    too much to bear....

    Painful, isn't it. I need to go for weekly blood tests, and
    every time I try to say I'll just press on the cotton wool
    till it stops bleeding, but I always get micropore wrapped
    around my whole arm.

    Also, one time when I was in hospital, a healthcare
    assistant insisted on putting on the ECG leads and tabs just
    to take my pulse, causing me completely unnecessary hair
    removal to the chest when it was already sore. One of the
    most frustrating things about my stay in hospital a while
    back was when someone did one of these minor tasks wrong and
    I had to not tell them how to do it otherwise they'd get
    incredibly offended.

    Anyway...
