Those bloody Vittorias won't wear out and I smear a little lube on the chain once every couple of weeks... I put some batteries in the light.. that's about it.

For what I think is the ifrst weekend of the year outside of Mauritius jaunt I will not be riding in to Sassys and the rest of the long ride I like to do.
At least I got out and about yesterday for a few errands to the hardware and so forth. But the ride back from a party at 2:00am was probably not such a smart idea.

1. Yesterday I needed to be at the bike shop in time to pick up my road bike before they closed and
2. Today because it was flogging down this morning and I am a giant softc#*k
The dumb thing is I would have made it home faster on the bike yesterday due to road flooding causing chaos and this afternoon the weather was great.
I'll need to pull my finger out on the weekend to keep my weekly mileage up.

Oh, that sucks If you need someone to look after that new bike for you, though... I'm sure there's people here who'd be willing to help outJBark wrote:Ugh, appendix out on Saturday, no riding for me for a couple weeks. It's killing me not being able to ride, especially after I bought a new bike literally hours before ending up in the ER.

Appendix out for me on Saturday too!!JBark wrote:Ugh, appendix out on Saturday, no riding for me for a couple weeks. It's killing me not being able to ride, especially after I bought a new bike literally hours before ending up in the ER.
Went up to Newcastle for work, supposed to overnight, steak dinner and all that, but had to go to 'walk-in medical clinic' instead. Doc said, go up to the hospital and at 2330hrs I was admitted. One day making way for car crash victims and op was on Sat.
Off work for a week and no heavy lifting for six weeks. Guess I won't be up for riding for at least two...

Obviously your situations could vary and you need to be realistic about what you can do after an operation. No point in rushing back onto the bike and causing even worse problems. I definitely avoided heavy lifting for quite a few weeks after my operation.
