[Nigelnaturist]

A shorter than normal ride due to the fact I have a cold, but still nearly twice the daily average I need to reach my primary target.

Planned Newbie Progress

Due to weather, dark nights and other stuff getting in the way I have not had much to report so...

...I hope to be reporting on these rides soon:

Weds pm - 18-20 miles up and down some hills.

Fri pm - a 'Brian Evesham'.

Sun morning - 25-30 miles inc' lots of up and down hills with one or two being quite 'chunky'.

There! I feel much better having now contributed to the thread!

I get up that way sometimes...

I've noticed! Your time up Netherton Lane is better than mine.

Can you add a few on for me please? Can't see how I am going to make mine at the moment!

You will soon do 600 miles when your on the bike.

I'm may not be getting back on my bike any time soon. Thinking I may need to hire or borrow a recumbent trike for a while or at least some form of trike. My god leg can no longer support me at all. The right knee and ankle just don't hold and I can't land on my left side because nine times out of ten it gives way and I fall over! As far as I can see unless there is some miracle in the next week or so, I am out of action for a while. NI still can't go downstairs and have been upstarts since last Wednesday... Walking is limited to needing support constantly and I still can't even sit up! We will see what the Dr days on Wednesday, but I have just had to cancel a hospital appointment for next Monday in Manchester because there is simply no way I can attend when I can't even sit up! Not great news really

@SatNavSaysStraightOn sorry to hear you are having problems at the moment. Good luck with your recovery and I hope you feel better and can get back on the road (and down the stairs) soon.

This is why I don't make targets.......none of us know what is round the corner. Hope you see some improvement soon Emma.

@SatNavSaysStraightOn I'm really sorry to hear you're having problems. Do you know what has caused them? or have I missed a post somehow?

this is the thread that explains things. I don't know what happened. One minute I was fine, the next I was in agony on the floor. I have something called hyper mobility syndrome where my ligaments and tendons didn't tighten up properly after birth. I am basically too flexible - I can (normally) stand on my tip toes with my knee straight and put the palms of my hands on the floor and if I have just done something like Pilates etc, I would be able to bend the elbows as well - that is not normal and causes issues. It is one of the reasons I always cycle in boots to give my ankles support because they can not hold themselves upright... I also have custom orthopaedic inner soles to help hold my lower leg bones in the correct position - I can basically walk on any part on the sole of my foot - you are not meant to be able to do that either... Currently it is not looking too good, sadly!

We're all thinking good thoughts and wishing you well SatNavSaysStraightOn.

I've just signed myself up for the MacMillan Shakespeare 100 mile event in September next year. That should give the old bottom muscles a workout.
