My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

Throwing the leg over

Yesterday I threw the leg over my mountain bike for the first time in over 7 months. Together with a friend we went for a mixed trial ride. I have to admit I was a little nervous before heading off.

Lucky my co rider was very gracious in terms of setting the pace but after about 2 hours we completed just over 26km. I was very happy with the ride. It was great to ride, to talk and to enjoy what was luckily a beautiful sunny early afternoon.

I have pulled up a little sore and tight today but some stretching will help.

Looking forward to picking up cycling on a regular basis again and I think I am not to far away from reacquainting myself with my gorgeous Italian carbon fibre mistress. My road bike!

    Must be the ‘Gimp’ coming back but I thought the same when I saw the heading – alas we all live in hope – Obviously Mick on Donnas PC
    Keep up the good work
