    I know that none of you know me but I needed to tell someone.

    Today I rode on the road for the first time since being hit in July, 7 months ago I was barely able to walk and couldn’t function without morphine following my spinal fusion.

    Since then I’ve had a lot of time to think about the accident and as I’ve recovered I’ve been scared about getting back on the road. After a couple of run outs on a converted old railway line I finally got the guts to go out today.

    It might be only 8 miles, and I had to stop on every hill as my fitness level is 0, and it was hailing and blowing a gale. But it was the most gloriest 8 miles I’ve ever done.

    I feel amazing now <:P

    Thanks, I was hoping to do it
    Thanks, I was hoping to do it a couple of weeks ago but had a chest and ear infection which as lowered my base even more. But I’ll get back to where a I was and will complete a century this year.

    I’m looking forward to getting out again later this week, but have my last session of physio tomorrow and 2 job interviews in the next couple of days to prep for.

    I recently came off and broke my collarbone and have some reservations about getting back in the saddle but my experience is nothing compared to yours. Well done and enjoy! =D>
