Colin would fit a hill or two in....20%ers...
I am going to try my gym bike before Christmas but I'll leave the outdoor cycling for the NY. It's bloody cold and icy now, and I really do not want to risk falling off at this stage. A broken bone would be a real problem for me.No reason not to be on the bike really Colin? 1 mile walking = 4 mile steady cycling ish. Got to be worth a try to bimble on the mtb? You never know till you try.
He's got bigger moobs than serena......Thanks for the update, Colin. I'm glad you are making progress.....let's hope for the Serena Williams outcome rather than the Frank Vandenbroucke one.....and we'll expect tickets if you ever make it to centre court for the women's finals

The doc explained that not having had bleeding problems with Warfarin is no guarantee that they won't happen in the future. There is always a finite risk, which is why they don't want to keep DVT/PE patients on it for life if there is any choice. If it is safe to take you off, they do, to eliminate that risk of bleeding. You come off when they decide that the risk of bleeding is greater than the risk of clotting.[/quote
Fixie by summer then
Wouldn't hers be woobs?He's got bigger moobs than serena......
Not living here. Somewhere like Rutland - quiet, well-surfaced roads - but without the hills ... maybe!Fixie by summer then

Ooh, 4 mile forum ride? Cake stop at the half way point?
It would be lovely to do a Rutland ride before next summer, but it isn't going to happen. Even if my physical health permitted, my financial health wouldn't! Thanks anyway.Good to hear Colin, the invite stands for you to come down anytime for a weekend of quiet pootling, we can pick you up from any station. We will see you next Thursday after picking up the mystery bike, we will call you when we are leaving the bike place, it's about 25 miles away. Anybody else around late afternoon 6th Dec? We could make it an early Christmas party in the cafe.
I'll be okay for the first few longer walks and rides. The danger will be that they go well and I then try to do double the distance right away. I'll be sensible ...Sounds good Colin, sounds like you're coming along nicely, just don't get carried away and over do it.
Thanks. Milly's has only just reopened after the summer flooding. I think the owners were on Look North yesterday talking about how difficult things had been for them.
Thanks! I'll be stopping with my sisters and they have already been asking what I want to eat and drink. I'll do the big Christmas meal but apart from that I will eat what I normally do. As for drinks - there is a selection of non-alcoholic ginger drinks on order for me.Thanks for the update, Colin - and great to hear that things are go as well as can be expected.
Keep taking it easy and ignore all those people who tell you "It's Christmas - of course you can have another [insert name of drink/ food]". You know you can do it - and it will set you up nicely for a much happier new year than was the case ashortlong few months ago !

(I am allowed to drink alcohol in limited amounts but if I can't have a few pints at a time then I'd rather do without. I like to be clear-headed or pleasantly sloshed, not halfway in between! )
I've looked at FB a couple of times but just can't seem to get into it!A bit off topic, I'm not sure but I don't think you do Facebook? I've been on there tonight and theres a page devoted to pictures of old Coventry, the Mrs and me have spend an hour down memory lane there tonight.
