WooHoo!!! On 2 wheels again!!!

[longdog]

Well, I went for it yesterday! Earlier than I had hoped for, with a pair of Steptoe's excellent muffs on my bars, I managed to ride for................... 2 miles to Pontardawe before finding that due to a combination of XXL gloves and my hand injury, I couldn't operate anything!!! Quick decision, I've started so I'll finish, off come the gloves, on go a pair of Knox Cold Killers and perfection!!!! Went up over Crai, (freezing fog yesterday!!!) and on to Sennybridge for my reward at the Cafe there!!! Then down to Llandovery, Llandeillo to Cross Hands then down the M4 to home. My fingers were aching a bit, (quite a lot actually!!!) and I did have to literally peel my right hand off the bar, but I'm back on 2 wheels!!!!!!

Great news after such a bad injury, and a long recovery period. I suspect it can only get better from here on in.
