Back to riding!!

Got the all clear from the consultant at my post carpal tunnel release op checkup yesterday, so I have the go ahead to start riding again - fantastic
I'll have to be a bit careful for a while until I get the strength back in my hand and arm. Not a massive ammount of use for 6 weeks so the muscles have got a bit small/weak!

Dilemna now is do I build up the Trance X frame over the weekend (which involves dismantling the Stumpjumper), or do I do that next week and ride the Stumpy at the weekend? Depends on the weather I guess, but leaning towards getting a gentle ride in Saturday or Sunday then do the new bike next week.

Gentle ride on the stumpy as a goodbye to a old steed and one ride into gaining strength for your new ride, defo the way I would do it.

Take it easy and give us an update on how the arm was.

Yeah, I reckon you are right. It does mean that I have to clean the bits afterwards befreo dismantling though :roll:
I hope the arm/hand will now let me right longer than an hour before losing all grip, fingers corssed! (pardon the pun)
So, 20Kg of weight to lose now, me not the bike

Come and join the Crudcatcher distance challenge on Endomondo. I'm using it to help with recovery from surgery alongside a couple of other challenges. Great motivational tool to get out when you don't feel like it, or take the long way round just to plug in another couple of miles.
