I’m slowly getting better, I can now bend my arm up pretty much as far as I could before. I can straighten it in some planes but not in others and I can’t rotate it or put too much pressure on the muscles in my fore-arm. It still hurts and I still need to be careful. I have been able to get out on the bike at last though.
Monday, Jayne and I rode out to Bonds for an ice cream. It ended up being the nicest day of the week weather wise and about 16 miles was just right for my first proper ride.
Tuesday we went up to the Lakes, just mooching around the shops. Wednesday I had to stay in to get new faster broadband switched over. Waited in all day, they finally did it at 3:30.
Thursday we did a lot. Jayne and I rode out to Barton Grange in the morning, stopping for a nice cake. 26 miles covered. Then in the evening me and Jamie rode to the Plough for me to initiate him into Bomber and Garlic Chicken, which he enjoyed.
Not done much since, mostly reading. Just finished Embassytown by China Mieville. Very weird and hard going in places but always good. I’v also just finished Simon Morden’s Theories of Flight, second in the three part Samuil Petrovich series. Set in a post apocalypse London of the near future, it offers some thoughts on science, society, AI and politics.
Miles for the last 4 weeks:

Great progress I'd say. That's one thing I miss about local coffee rides - stopping for snack and a sip along the way. It seems like most rides around here have turned into races and no one is just out to enjoy the day. Then the ride goes away because nobody enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer the social rides, even the longer ones 70-100 miles are preferred at a social pace.
