So as my problems compound, another big crash, suspected hit and run, in trauma ICU for a few days with concussion, a bleed on the brain and a few other things ... then Bilateral DVT in the legs putting me back in hospital ... 

Luckily Grumpy @GrahamW from my LBS The Workshop in Alberhoughton, all round good guy, borrowed me a 'smart trainer'

I have promised the medical team and my family that I wouldn't do anything stupid so choose an 8k flattish route, small chain ring AND only 1st and 2nd gear .... a maximum of 20mins per day for all of this week! I'm not a high cadence rider but I kept to what I said I'll do 😎

Getting over this mentally I believe will be the biggest challenge but let's see

May you heal up completely and quickly!

Tried my stuff on Zwift... never rode with power numbers before.  So, like a complete and utter noob I chased the watts and destroyed myself on watopia's 7km @6% climb...   I like the platform for evening sessions, but will take the finger off the trigger on the wattage bazooka.
