She shocked me today

[mr_hippo]

About 5 weeks ago, I was not feeling 100% but I managed a short ride. Later the same day, I had excruciating abdominal pains and a slight twinge on my right flank and a painful right leg and this got progressively worse as the day wore on. I went to the local hospital, blood tested and x-rays taken - abdominal obstruction and low sodium count and was given an enema and salt tablets! . A few visits to the ER and clinic appointments later, I am on the mend - still cannot walk pain free but it is getting better - should be back on the bike in a few weeks time.
After my windfall last month, I decided to buy two bikes - his and hers.; I decided on either hybrids or MTBs. I cannot go exploring on a road bike as road surfaces here can be horrendous. After pouring over the ProBike website (Best LBS in Thailand with a host of affiliated dealers nationwide), we eventually chose three bikes each and off we went to the dealer. I was under strict orders - do not buy today or order anything - just look! OK, no problem!. What happened? She ordered her bike within minutes of arriving there and said that I could order mine, if I wanted to!
Placed my order - Trek 3900 Disc for me and a Trek Skye WSD for her. Mine is in stock in Bangkok but hers will have to be ordered from the factory!.

Glad to hear you are improving, and hope you will soon be able to get out on your imminent purchase.

Wives are dangerous in bike shops!
As she never got on with dérailleurs, we went off to Thorn to try a Raven for her.
I borrowed one as well and it was lovely...... she then became enamoured of the idea of us having similar bikes so we came away with two!
