Quick update: Still can't put too much pressure on my leg and hurts to bend it. Swelling has not gone down. Pain every time a hair moves so I am guessing that is one of the reasons cyclists shave their legs. Shoulder is fine though.

Bike is going in for a service tomorrow so wont be riding anyway. Hopefully all the creaks and clicks will be sorted afterwards. Expecting a few extra pounds to be added for parts though. Good job I have just been paid!

Happy riding people.

Maybe you should get it checked out if the swelling doesn't go down soon?

Hope the service doesn't cost too much and the bike runs nice once it's done.

I went on the beginners ride today. It was encouraging to see 3 children on the ride with their parents. On the way back I had a go at bike polo. It was interesting to say the least.

Just had lunch and still waiting for the weather to clear up. I should just go out but I want sunshine!

Bike Polo? Sounds like an accident waiting to happen!

Well, it's not hiding up here, although I think it is trying hard to come through.

You could be waiting a while for sunshine. I'd get out while you can. It is overcast in Essex today, but not unpleasant.

I have to admit that I didn't play a game. I just practised riding around with the putter thing and tried to hit the ball. I didn't fall off fortunately, One of the kids came off a few times while playing, but no serious injuries.

The service that is getting done is 105 quid! But it gets taken apart, cleaned and put together again with new cables and bearings. I half expect a new chain and BB because the amount of noise its making and being told the chain is slightly stretched. I am back in work tomorrow night too, good thing my job is sedentary and I basically sit down for 12 hours.

Hi again folks.
Been a bit lax again recently, both with cycling and logging on here. You all seem to be doing well. Went out for a couple of hours with hubby this morning, him on his MTB and me on my roady, as that way he can stay in his correct HR zone from his coach and I can keep up! I actually enjoyed today's ride much more than last week and found it easier for some reason. We did get rained on a tiny bit and got slightly lost from our intended route, but it was a good ride out. Looking forward to the Chinese takeaway we are having with his kids this afternoon in honour of Fathers' Day. Yum yum

This will be because your body has recovered. Dam is it that day again, another year without a card from three boys, but being boys i guess thats the norm.

Hubby actually got one from MY son (not his) this year! First time ever - maybe he felt bad about not sending him a birthday card in March!

don't worry, My OH's family rarely remember my birthday, if ever with the sole exception of the member of that family I happen to share the birthday with. So out of all of them (and immediate family that is 10), only 1 ever remembers my birthday and several of them, including my OH have been celebrating that day as a birthday all of their lives! My OH gets no excuses. all he has to remember is A B C... Anniversary, Birthday, Christmas - they all happen inside 5 days, all he has to do is sort the order out!
