Back on my bike at last after concussion

I have been unable to ride for a month due to concussion after knocking myself out on New Years Eve. Sober, in the middle of the day, in case you were wondering. It has been a difficult and frustrating month, but.....

I finally managed to get back out there yesterday! And what a joy it is to be back zipping around. My bike had been at work since before my accident, so at 5:30 yesterday I kitted up and set off for what I promised to my wife would be a "leisurely ride" home. That didn't last long - within minutes I was flying along. That didn't last long either though - within a few minutes I was totally shattered. It's amazing how you lose your fitness so quickly. It will come back quickly too though.

To cap my excitement off completely, when I got home I had an email from Rose in Germany saying that my new bike has now been dispatched. Sooooo excited!!

After a truly terrible start to 2013 I now have a feeling that it's going to be a really good year.

Have fun on the roads everyone

With the amount of ice warnings about, I'd stay off the bike a little longer

I won't be going out if it's icy - got to be reasonably sensible I suppose! Although if it's icy when my new bike arrives next week I will have to just ride up and down my road carefully for half an hour

Gave my current bike an epic clean and mini service yesterday and went out for another spin - it is SOOOO good to be back. Just got to decide where to go this weekend now.

Yeah its the best feeling to be back on the bike - looks like were in for snow/ice overnight so probably a day off the bike for me tomorrow though!
