Oh lordy, I have just agreed to dust off the five next Friday!

Against the physio's advice who said I am 'not really' fit to go on a ride. Its been 8 months mr physio, 8 months!

I am going to die aren't I?!

    Also, 8 months? what did you do? I broke my leg and had my entire knee rebuilt and was back on the bike in 6 months, MTFU !

    My hip joints are fecked.
    They are really worn for someone of my age, also have bursitis in the joint which is showing no signs of alleviating itself despite my efforts and the gym, and physio says that the 'vibrations' from riding on rough trails could make it worse.

    He said I could become a roadie :o

    tbf, that sounds pretty horrible and I'd listen.

    Also, I hope you kicked fcuk out of him for suggesting such an obscene thing. He clearly should be struck-off!

    Can't they give you nice new titanium ones?
    Or steel singlespeed ones if you have a beard.

    They probably will, in a few years, but you don't have the range of movement with a prosthetic hip so I wouldn't be able to climb any more :(

    That was a statement on Gaz's perversities, not a question.

    Right let's get a few of these things straight.....people don't leery me sneak up on them, I have skills, I'm probably touching your hair right now yes, you, can you feel it...no...good, I'm like the SAS I can slip in and out unnoticed.

    And I don't exclusively like big rough women, I'm just not put off by them, but I like more slender women too, don't want the ladies on here to feel that they are beneath me. In many ways I prefer a smaller woman because with driving a saloon car it means I can save much of the sawing for the comfort of my own home

    Sounds like your physio just wants to see you in lycra.
    But, I'd listen to the advice.

    I dont think you'd suit stonewash jeans, a black metallica t shirt a beer belly and a greasy ginger beard, and I doubt you could lug amps about with your dodgy hips

    Thank you all for your concern...

    And thank you FoxC for sticking up for the size of my behind :lol:
    Not sure where we are going but I am at the mercy of the potter eek! Will likely be the Derbyshire Dales but we may adventure over the border of the Peak District :)

    Ha, you all have no faith in me!

    I am a tad rust-eh on the old riding skills ;)

    But after almost a year off the bike I did OK, I just need to get my confidence back a bit, stuff I used to find easy was challenging. But, it was good to have another go, I have the consent of the physio to go as long as I promise to do my exercises and make an effort to maintain certain posture when riding so its all good....for now :)

    No, just worthlessly endowed. Trust me. And his wife. We had a threesome once, I kept thinking he was trying to inject heroin in my a55hole. Just a tiny prick, I thought it was a hypodermic.
