Back in the Saddle!

So my physio nervously allowed me to get back on the bike this weekend, with some strict rules. Saturday I was allowed an hour on the road bike, and then if it didn't get sore, I was allowed an hour on non-technical trails on the MTB.

 

Saturday morning was a nightmare of flat car batteries, bike rack keys on wrong car keys, etc, but I eventually set off with dad to do about 1:30 on the road bike. No pain, nice ride, felt superfast on uphills on that light bike!

 

No pain the rest of the day so Saturday we went for a 9am warm ride on the Spruit. Dad, slowpoke, infernox and I met at Fratellis (yes I was late again!), and we did a nice hour up to Emmarentia and back. I was EXTREMELY well behaved and didn't ride the section under the trees, and I'm still not in pain, so it seems the injury is on the mend for good!

 

Now to survive the IDT session tomorrow morning (gulp!)

I'm back in the saddle again

 

Out where a friend is a friend

 

Where the longhorn cattle feed

 

On the lowly gypsum weed

 

Back in the saddle again

 

 

 

Ridin' the range once more

 

Totin' my old .44

 

Where you sleep out every night

 

And the only law is right

 

Back in the saddle again

 

 

 

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh

 

Rockin' to and fro

 

Back in the saddle again

 

Whoopi-ty-aye-yay

 

I go my way

 

Back in the saddle again
