News from Nigel

Hi Just thought I'd give an update to the As Bs and Cs from me Nigel C
" I'm not really a cyclist " just in case anyones remotely interested. Following in the footsteps of Uncle Bob "Ironman Starey" my long awaited hip (left) op was undertaken at Epsom SWLEOC last thursday and thankfully all went well. Was spat out and sent home on Sunday with time off good behaviour got 3 stars. but told could have done better because told there some ex-fireman a few weeks back who did his own op went home nearly the same day and got the full 5 stars

Talk about not letting the dust settle !! All very different form my other hip undertaken 15 years ago, when I was in for 10 days which then was considered good.

Anyways currently walking on crutches and making about a 1/4 mile. Extra procedure has finally, after 45 years resolved the inbalance in leg length from the original break. So its all going to take a little longer to weld itself all back together. But certainly hoping to get back to some form of gentle riding within 4 weeks. Which i'm certainly missing in the current good weather Best wishes to all and happy-safe cycling. Will keep up with the news on the Blog.

May pop down for the easy-riders off on Saturday at the Mansion House weather permitting Don't want anything to go rusty
