Cheers @TurboTommyTelling you how to suck eggs... but take it easy Del. It’s frustrating feeling like your fitness is slipping away but it’ll come back bud. Get well soon!
Yes it is frustrating. Felt like I was riding really well before this struck and, as you say, the inevitable fear is that its all going to fall away.
And yes, that is nonsense. I’ve played sport for years and recovered from similar things, but when it happens its still a pisser.
I suppose it proves that getting older doesn’t really kill off your competitive sporting instincts........... and that’s a good thing really!
