Many of you will already know that I have not ridden a bike since 22nd of June when I rode to Ouistreham to catch the ferry back to England. This is because I am suffering with severe back and sciatic pains which are gradually getting better. (I hope).
It is unlikely that I shall be able to ride before the end of the month and then I shall have to take it steady. If all goes to plan I should be able to join the CTC Birthday Rides Week in Gloucestershire in mid August.
If being unable to ride for the last three weeks is not enough I have also been unable to drive for the last four weeks due to another medical problem. Thankfully I can do so now but a short test drive to Hinton Ampner on Monday was quite painful to my leg. I guess that I need to give it another week or more before I can drive any distance.
I have been considering discontinuing my blog permanently. However if there are sufficient folk interested I will recommence when I get back on one of my four bikes. Please let me know if you are interested in the ramblings of an OMIL.
In the meantime I have at least had the Tour de France to keep me entertained and yesterday I had a visitor who came to cheer me up. Grant, who was one of my M2M companions last year, came on his lovely yellow Triumph Bonneville motorcycle. We had lunch together thanks to Tesco's £10 for a meal for two deal. It was great to catch up and share memories of past glories!
I have been following the exploits of my friends on their bikes and have been pleased to see they have been making the most of the fine weather to enjoy some good rides like this one:-
Just wish I was with them.
