Back on the road again
That is the size of the grin on my face after taking my beloved G3 WO out on the road for the first time in 3 1/2 months since my spinal surgery. I got the go ahead from the Physio after last evenings spinal rehab session at my local hospital. I went for a quiet bible in the lovely autumn sunshine through the little lanes in Worcestershire near my home and felt no Ill effects after. Only covered about 15 miles, but had a nice cup of tea and slice of cake at the National Trust cafe at the Clent Hills car park. Hurdle gone over

Brilliant Neil. I know how wonderful that feels too. If you'd ridden 150 miles it wouldn't have been any greater achievement. It's so easy to take these simple pleasures for granted.Tommy RE wrote: Only covered about 15 miles, but had a nice cup of tea and slice of cake at the National Trust cafe at the Clent Hills car park.

Re: Back on the road again
Too true Neville, it just felt great to be out. I hoping to get a bit more in before the weather turns with my local VMCC section as they tend to chose the quieter roads and not too long a trip between stops.SPRIDDLER wrote:Brilliant Neil.

Re: Back on the road again
It was nearly 3 yrs before I was fit enough (and brave enough) for my first ride on my adapted Matchless; just a few times around the camping field at a rally. It ranks as one of my most memorable rides, ever.Tommy RE wrote: Too true Neville, it just felt great to be out.

Re: Back on the road again
The important bit is " (and brave enough) ".
Not a popular thing to say, but it took me a few miles after my relatively recent "offs" before I got full confidence back.
And it was the same with knee surgery. My squash game took a while to return to all out effort.
Go for little and often and everything will fall into place and you body will get time to adjust and fully heal.
