Daft question(s) maybe but was it black ice?
If not, why on earth take the risk?
I hope they recover well.

Are you sure?
I will check with Classic and let you know for certain.

@Dave7 hope you find some pain relief during the day.

I can only assume it was black ice. I'm disappointed two experienced riders took the group down a lane which is known for frost/ice in these conditions. One rider went down the rest fell off trying to stop.

I've cancelled my ride plans for today. Shame as it's beautiful - clear sky, absolutely still - but I can't see frost/ice lifting in shaded areas before 12.00.

Tomorrow's forecast is +4C at 10.00, huge difference.

Good morning - I went for a brisk 5 mile walk yesterday morning. Very bracing in the cold temperature. That was the second fairly lengthy walk of the week, so I won't feel guilty about hanging around doing nothing today.

Amitriptyline good for nerve pain if it doesn't shift. Doc put me on it for a month when I had my last bout. Still barely touched it mind you but it helped a bit.

TBH I dont know who to phone 1st.....the Doctor or the physio.
Yesterday I took 2 parecetamol with 1 codeine and that helped for 4 hours.
I have just taken **3 x 200 ibuprofen so see if that works
**Doctor has said that its ok to take 3.

You can take ibuprofen along with paracetamol too if it gets really bad. I still get twinges most days now, but I never want to experience the pain when it was at its worst ever again!

As in 2 x ibuprofen and 1 paracetamol or vice versa ??

I'm off for a bit of pain relief at lunchtime.

That's due to the above post by you.

I'm hoping to get a ride in tomorrow, I've got a house full at the moment, no chance of a ride today. How is everybody today?

Blimey, it must be winter!
Frost on the dunes.
Can see our place in this photo.......a bit like 'Spot the Ball'.

Very pleasant doggie walk.....off down to my local now.
