Another 24 miles, How long does it take to get back up to speed
I feel like i am pushing but not getting any faster, the legs are burning and the heart is pumping, or is it just the time of year, seem to feel the cold more, or am i getting to old for all this,
Only joking seem to feel a bit better every ride, taking a day of from ridding Friday save the energy for the Saturday club run which i am leading, there might be a few moans behind about the pace but hey ho, when you lead the ride you set the pace, Looking forward to ridding with the club again, got a nice 42 miler all planned for Saturday.

Only 6 miles this morning. Planned 20+ went out the window as I wasn't at all comfy on the bike today, and that's a sign for me to go home
Hopefully a couple of days off will sort it.

I didn't have an awful lot of time this afternoon so I thought I'd just pop out for gentle spin, but after 5 miles or so & for some reason or other I got a bee in my bonnet & thought I'd have a bit of speedier session & I must say I rather enjoyed it.
Only 20 miles down to Beaulieu Road & back through Lyndhurst & I'm glad I still had the Conti four seasons on as it seems to be hedge & tree cutting time at the moment & (touching wood) these tyres have been indestructible so far this winter.

I set out for a short 3 mile errand. It was quite nice out, so I turned it into 15 miles for a giggle.

You are not going to bore me with them. Please keep adding them. It makes it much more interesting for those of us unable to get out...

I have to say that my first thought when I read your original post was that you might have a broken hip.
I am sitting with my sister and reading out some of these posts. She just stopped what she was doing and told me to make this point VERY strongly ...
Her husband broke his hip a few years ago and had it pinned. No mention was made of physio. The hip was sore for a couple of months leading to a follow-up appointment with the consultant. He asked how my b-i-law was getting on with the physio. The reply was "What physio?" No physio had been arranged, none done.
The consultant looked very shocked and explained that the physio is crucial in getting the blood supply to the bone reestablished properly. Without it, the bone can die.
That is exactly what happened to b-i-l - the ball on the end of the femur went necrotic and he needed a hip replacement a few months later.
So, ask for physio and as SNSSO said above ... DO THE PHYSIO!

Terrible news. I feel for you. ....... but on the plus side, you now go down in Cyclechat legend as an unstoppable machine for riding so far with a broken hip. Are you by any chance a prototype Cyberdyne Systems terminator?

Crikey! So sorry to hear that. How on earth did you carry on cycling with that level of injury? GWS

Called at @Rickshaw Phil 's after work, to collect my bike, following the much needed service he has very kindly given it.
Phil had suggested a quick road test and so, after a quick change, I encouraged Phil to join me and we took the bikes on a quick spin up Lyth Hill and around the village.
The bike seemed fine and other than a quick stop to fine tune the gears, nothing really to report.
3.8 miles (They all count!)

My ride & walk yesterday !
Mate & I drove over to Glencorrwg to ride a trail thru the Afan Forest.
We chose ( unwisely ) for me the 'red' Blade trail !
It was a bit too technical for me but thoroughly enjoyable with great views & some really good off roading thru the forest, once we were above 450 metres there was snow & ice to contend with as well !

thanks everyone for the kind words. Amazingly - to me at least - I am home again already! (I may have been less than truthful during my physio assessment earlier) It's definitely darn painful but I came back with a large supply of painkillers to take the edge off it.
They were pleased that the bones were more stable when they did the operation than they had thought from looking at the x-rays. I should be back on the bike - in a limited way - within 4-6 weeks - so that's obviously 2-3 then
To be serious, I will follow instructions and listen to my body...they mentioned the threat of necrosis and will keep on top of that as well. Its one of those times when less will certainly end up being more I suppose.
To those that asked how I continued cycling with that injury - embarrassment got me back on the bike, actually riding it wasn't "too" bad, apart from going uphill - I even got 3 Strava personal top 3 segment times on the way back!! - but certainly mounting and dismounting and walking afterwards were the real tough parts. All in the hospital were somewhat amazed that I'd managed it though
I'll be following this thread with large amounts of jealousy over the next few weeks - enjoy your rides folks!!
