Silencing his legs regularly

Ladies and gentlemen, it appears that my presence is no longer welcome on the tour. Following my prang in Ostend, Simon emailed me on Tuesday to say 'If you've been in the care of a neurologist you're going to have to get a medical all-clear to come on the Tour'. Suffice to say, I disagreed, and felt an medical all-clear was exactly what I had. It's now been a week since I crashed, and I have exhibited no symptoms whatsoever of anything worse (had the scans in Ostend somehow missed something....which they hadn't). After rest, as advised by the aforementioned neurologist, playing close attention to anything amiss, and seeking further advice from two of the health professionals in the CycleChat community, I returned to work & have completed two shifts and commutes (on a rather faster bike....) without problems. I'm not going to waste time and public money at my GP or NHS treatment centre to tell me what I already know. Two further emails to Simon making my position clear and asking whether he was still happy for me to join you have gone unanswered. I will therefore be making alternative arrangements for spending that weekend and for getting to Brussels. Hope you all have a great time, and perhaps I'll see you some of you in Pompey before you sail.
