@Supersuperleeds @Goonerobes @SatNavSaysStraightOn @welsh dragon, thanks guys, I wont be on much the next few days can hardly sit in the chair, the docs said if I ride too soon I may be landing on a single wheel in future with further time off for the op.

Bloody hell Nigel. I would normally crack a joke about rule 5 or something else daft, but sometimes you have to forget the riding and look after yourself. Get well soon fella.

You now me Chris ride in any weather, but this had been building all week, thought it was getting better did the conversion Thursday aft to be honest it was difficult because of the pain, but it went well enough, didn't even need to adjust the h-l on the rear mech, though some tweaking is need I think from the ride I had again because of the pain its more a matter of did it work ok, and it did.
This was my first ride on the 9sp triple Viking not far or fast.

Get well soon @Nigelnaturist. Sorry to hear of your troubles

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

I managed to motivate myself to get out irrespective of the dismal and wet morning and got another 36 miles on the clock. Poor bike looks like it has been through a ploughed field. Afraid it only got a quick hose off and left to drip dry!

Hope it brightens up for you and you manage to fit a ride in.

We got out, but boy. Was it windy?! Hard work, but we got out, that's the main thing

 

[BrianEvesham]

Take it easy @Nigelnaturist we've only just got you back.
Speedy recovery mate.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

@Nigelnaturist hope you heal up soon, take it easy in the meantime and you'll be back on two wheels soon enough. The bike will be there waiting when you're well.

Aww, Nigel. Sorry. That sounds awful. Just in from visiting my dad and stepmum and catching up. Take it easy and follow doctors orders. Cycling comes way down the line compared with your health.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

@Stevey G @Stonechat @Exile @Mo1959 again many thanks, with out getting to graphic but to give you some idea, it is about 6 to 8 times larger than it should be.
