First ride since car crash

[Wigsie]

Well after 7 weeks off the bike and 4 physio sessions since my car crash I have just come back from one of my favourite lunchtime loops. 14.8 reasonably hilly miles in 52 minutes, ate 3 bugs and two in the eye (forgot my new aldi glasses) and I feel great, my neck, back and knee all seem fine. Lets hope they hold up for the 18.5 mile each way commute tomorrow.

To celebrate I have just bought my first lycra jersey (although wont be wearing it just yet) as a target item for me to wear before August holidays once I have shed a stone or two!

by car crash, was this a crash with a car or was it you were in a car that got crashed?

Sorry, I was in my car on M25 and some div smashed into the back of me.

Good luck Wigsie...little by little. Bike fitness will creep up on you - the pleasure will smother you and the pain will recede quicker than your hair!

no worries, you never know on here!

hope your joints and limbs continue to enjoy cycling without pain

I have a naturally high hairline that as been that way for years!

Actually quite pleased, I thought I would have deteriorated with my fitness more than I have (although I do feel a fair bit fatter).

Good for you, Wigsie! Glad you are back to cycling.

Good luck on your continued recovery
