back in the saddle!!!!!!!

I was having a bit of a chat with D9 the other day and he said I should announce that I'm riding again.

So,........I got the approval from my Doctor on Xmas eve that my now highly modified right leg and foot are able to support me on my bike. After 17 months of having to rely on other people to take me where I wanted to go, yesterday I did 2 hours on my bike by myself, the Independence I now have is fantastic!! don't take it for granted guys.

Nice to hear it. Best way to strengthen that leg is the riding position.
