yikes... I have had a hard enough time suffering with it since last month!
Aye - women
. We saw ice on the pond during our wee lunchtime walk, despite the sun shining
all morning, and the work car park was rather slippery to walk across at home time. Love my ice tyres ...
@Harry_Palmer79 - Any idea what brought on the sciatica/ back pain ? Ride position ? Not enough cycling ?
Thought of a sports massage/therapist person ?
GWS anyway
Could you manage over for the CC Ecosse Christmas Feed ?
and 
as well on the 13th if there's space at the table!
I purchased a dreamland thermo therapy heat pad... In otherwords an electric hot gel pad/wheatbag. It had been wonderful for relieving the tension in my back from the sciatica i have at the moment.Not sure what brought it on tbh. I woke up last Tuesday and couldn't reach down to tie my shoe-laces. I was okay-ish when I was up and walking about, but if I stood in one place for more than a minute (to wash the dishes etc or on the train) it was really painful... I was just taking ibuprofen/paracetamol, but I put a deep-heat pad on yesterday and it feels much better already... not quite 100% but getting there!
I am definitely up for thepossibly
Aye - womenaren't meant todinnae wear the kilt ...

GWS Ross! To be fair I'm always walking out the house forgetting things, usually gloves, lights, bottle, etc though don't think I've ever forgotten my helmet... (paging @Fnaar) must be the age thing! Still, the bubble wrap you apply before every ride should protect you, shouldn't it?!?
Aye, it does'nae come itself...

Sorry to derail the thread a bit, were I to suggest a new year CycleChat jaunt somewhere sunnier than Scotland would there be much enthusiasm (or indeed, any?)
I'm taking a hard look at having another crack at Tenerife in the first week or so of January and it would be awesome to have some company.
Requirements: Must be able to cycle up a volcano. Must not be able to cycle up a volcano faster than me
Nah, that's a volcanic plug (not to be confused with a volcanic pug)Does Arthur's Seat count? It'll have to, cos it's the only volcano I'm likely to be cycling up in Jan.
