Frustrating Trials

Got out on the trails bike today.
Ant and Mike have learned how to get up a 2.5 foot step-up (without destroying the bike or hurting themselves).

With my healing wrist, I didn't want to try anything brave. I might try it next time.

I just pootled about doing a few wheelies and cutting about down the field. It was damp in a few places...

The mud was bad. My shagged tyres would get all clogged up and the front wheel would just jam. This meant lots of front-end tucks and frustration. Did more falling and scraping mud oout from under the front mudguard than riding. Eventually called it a day when the gear selector came off and then I broke the clutch lever.

Then ant broke his handle-bar - and still rode the bike back to the house. It was good to get out but I didn't have a great day. Frustrating.

The wrist held up good. My great looking staples - they're coming out tomorrow!

Staples

I couldn't resist a peek under the dressing (against the nurse's orders...)

Still limited movement, but surprisingly no pain. The staples feel a bit weird though. Started the physio and rehab yesterday... Looking good!

Surgery Rescheduled

Got a call from the hospital on Friday. They've had a cancellation and can move my surgery to take the plate out of my wrist to this coming Saturday. Yeeeeha!

Surgery Scheduled

This plate in my wrist has been causing me problems. No problem riding a bike, but stoopid fuckin' things like buttoning my shirt or picking my mobile phone. So I've got the surgery scheduled to take it out: 20th March.

21st March is the first round of the Ducati Desmo Due Championship. So I'll be missing that. Mabe one day I will be able to do all rounds of a championship!
