MTB0007 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 This is not a new bike but my slow re entry to riding .. since shattering my hip in last year's Juma and subsequently selling everything cycling I owned.. I have learnt to walk been spinning and kinda missed the riding..I have recovered and my new replacement hip is working OK. .except the cold bites....me. Today, I broke down and bought this old lady so I can ride with my wife ..the bug never leaves a cyclist even after the accident, op and that pain..The yearning to ride still lingered.Today I collected the old (look) ladya 2005 carbon Look 386i Ultega groupo and brakes Mavic Aksium light wheels

Sepia Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 There you go! Shot on the comeback. Hope the IDT helped?Good news, glad you took the decision to keep the wheels turning, Just ride that puppy but don't expect any podiums.Ride within yourself.(Come down and ride the half Shova and we can ride together.)All the best!

Ryanpmb Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I'm sure it's going to ride as good as it looks. Enjoy being back on the bike.
MTB0007 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 Did a 1 hour ride on Sun.I was more nervous about getting back on a bike Scared actually kept hearing my bones cracking. ..But it was really good riding with my wife againI will need to remember to keep calm and not try "win" Just want to enjoy the freedom of riding ..The Look was great a nice responsive ride...
KingTJ Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Hey mate , i am glad you did not let that moment define you...it is inspirational to see guys go through so much trauma, and then to have so much perseverance and willpower to not be handicapped ...welcome back and enjoy every moment of it.
