well, isn't that lovely...?
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit :-p
Much slower than I'd like Ed, but definitely light at the end of the tunnel now. I've got about 80% use of the arm but how much do you need

For Gawd sakes update your MCL with your 100 mile ride!!
I am procrastinating about writing a one-button Strava->MCL sync app. Hoping that seeing "0 of 5000 miles" will shame me into action. So far it hasn't!
80% sounds about rightMuch slower than I'd like Ed, but definitely light at the end of the tunnel now. I've got about 80% use of the arm but how much do you need
So long as you're able to partake in the CC Ecosse Tour this year that's all that matters! (being able to use your arm is good too I suppose... 
)

The punishment for my earlier weather related smugness was delivered in the form of an off! Minding my own business crossing a wood surfaced bridge when I saw a turn off to the right I wanted. Braked to scrub off some of the already low speed and down I went.
The damp surface had some algae on it, and was like ice! No damage done, but landed on my already dodgy left hip which probably didn't help things much. Being a brave soldier, and possessing a fair amount of the "ahh fuggit" Scottish mentality, I pedaled on to my destination in downtown Kissimmee (a Jamaican restaurant for lunch of curried goat with rice and peas). The return journey of 18 miles westbound was directly into that "light breeze" I mentioned earlier, which had matured into something more like a Floridian hurricane!
Back at base now and no signs of any lasting damage.
