I have had two rides since the last update.  Its not really good news.

ive made around 10 miles, which is an improvement over the last rides, however its still not pain free.  So its still a case of waiting around and resting.

A few weeks back i was organised to set off again, however this couldnt happen due to the injury, now i plan on organising the same, so will set a plan to get going during September.  Im going through with the planning knowing full well that i may not be able to leave again, however it gives me another target to reach and allows me to get going should the injury be repaired enough.

Currently i am looking at Fri 19th being my set off date, however this could change as the planning kicks in again and depending on work commitments.

This really is the last chance to make it this year as i dont want to be cycling through Scotland during October.  In fact i could well be pushing it leaving in September, who knows, its down to the weather!

as ever….watch this space!

Well its been over a week now since my last message, i thought i better give an update on the progress of the ride and the progress of my healing.

Although it took longer than expected, my knees seem to be getting better, my left knee seems fine now, my right knee is the one that is holding up the ride now.  It has taken longer to get sorted than i hoped and im not 100% sure that it is fully better.

I will be heading out on a training ride over this weekend as a tester to see how my legs are.

Im aiming for 25miles as a nice gentle start.

If all goes well, im planning on heading off again toward the middle of the week.  It should take me 10-12 days to get up to John O Groats if all goes well (touch wood!)

This weekend will the deciding time for me.  I really hope everything goes well as im itching to get on and get the ride finished.  Im not overly confident though as i tried some martial arts training this week and had to stop half way through as it was getting uncomfortable.

Lets see what this weekend brings, then i will report back with an update.
