Title: First ride post op
Post by: gasyz on December 25, 2015, 08:41:43 AM
Gave myself a christmas treat and went for my first post op ride.Just over three months since my BHR,and feeling good so got hold of some troy Lee padded shorts and did a 23km hilly road ride on my MTB.It was my old after work quick training loop which I used to in 58 mins.Just managed 1h6mins in bad wind and rain,so quite pleased for the first outing in a while.Hip feels fine,wish I could say the same for the fat belly hanging over the top of my shorts.Can finally start training for the new season and some upcoming events.Merry biking xmas.

Wish I could take it slow and easy but I've got the brain of a 5 year old..Gave myself another treat on new years day and did a 14k mountain walk over Snowdon including climbing Crib-coch in snow and ice.The next day I borrowed my dads ccm trailbike and did a few hours greenlaning in a wild and wet mid Wales.New hip felt gr8 throughout.
Going for a thrash on my Triumph scrambler now.
All this at only 4 months post op,can't wait for 6 months and full release.
