Some of you have been sending me PMs asking whats going on......well 2 of you did
with me selling up or most of my gear, well fear not I am still going to get my miles in this year but over the last couple of months I have been pre occupied with the wife and her knee problems.
Well that should now be sorted out as she has just spent the last 7 days in a fantastic hospital (never thought I would be saying that) but its true, she has just had her knee revision after Scunthorpe completely knackered her knee 14 months ago and put her in a wheelchair, she has just had lots of work done by a fantastic surgeon who normally works on pro cycle racers, no name dropping but his current clients all belong to either Team Sky or Condor Rapha......yep the man himself and it has cost Scunthorpe trust an absolute fortune to have this man work his magic on Eileens knee, in fact she had the operation on monday, spent four days on a special machine that bent, straightened and stretched her new knee for three days and nights without stopping, it was 24hrs a day with one full revolution per minute, after her first op in Scunthorpe she had extreme pain every day and was on prescribed Oxycodone (Heroin to us normal people) but she has absolutely no pain since her op in Sheffield and her leg actually works again, its going to be a few months of intensive physio before she is 100% again but at least there is light at the end of her tunnel now.
Now as for selling the bike in bits, there is method in my madness, she will never ride a roadbike again thats a certainty, and as we both used to do a lot of MTB XCing we are moving back to that so expect to see us in the latter part of the year steadily burning up the trails, well at least the country paths and roads, well thats it, we are beginning again all over again and I am with the wife all the way on her long road back to getting herself back in the saddle.
Sorry its long winded............not
