Luik, maw, nae brace!

And I have been for a ride... but not a very long one because it
is /bitter/ cold up here today. It's been 120 days, all told.

Well done.. You don't have to scuttle back into your shell like a
hermit crab then?

Take it gently.

early days nude of brace.

Nope. I was sent for x-ray, came back, and one of the junior surgeons saw
me for about two minutes to say that the splinter had adhered in a safe
place, and that's that. I said what do I do with the brace, and he said
I could leave it. Yippee!

Oh, I shall, don't worry.

Need to book some time with the physio, as well.

Cold as in ... bracing? See, ya don't get rid of it that easily.
Ya need time in the saddle to get the circulation back:-)

I hope you're not defying the quack by going out now?
Better you can leave the likes of me standing in six months ...

('twas mild but dull for my ride. And the moors are amazingly
dry for the season).

Glad to hear you're mending well Simon. Of course, what you need now is a
whizbang recumbent [1] to put the miles back in while being easy on your
back [2].

Congrats. I bet that was a welcome feeling. Good luck an all, try and
stay on the bike and on the road this time! ;-)

Funny, I was thinking about that today, not just because I knew you were due
in at the infirmary , but I heard on the local radio that conti tyres had
done a survey on the 'bendiest' roads in the UK - it appears that the road
down towards Mennock is one of the "bendiest" roads in the UK - I have no
idea how they measured it and assume they didn't include roundabouts but at
least you can say that your crash was whilst cornering on one of the UK's
bendiest roads

I'll see you out on the straight Stewartry roads soon

No. I haven't been told to avoid doing anything. I was rather surprised -
I expected to be told to be careful about all sorts of things, but no.
Once they were happy the splinter was stuck in a safe place, they
basically told me to take off my brace and walk.

Sunday's club ride stops chez nous for tea and biscuits, and I'll then
come a bit of the way back with the rest of you. How far really depends
on how strong I'm feeling - I need to start getting a few miles in my
legs and see how it goes.

If feels _wonderful_ to be back on the bike.
