Wow, first post on what I hope will be a continuing saga. I am not known for my consistency. This space is all about bikes. I currently have two a TREK mountain bike and a road bike that I've salvaged. The TREK was first on the scene to help in gaining a bit of fitness and some weight loss. I used this bike the most at my last house in Mount Isa. It was great for the rides out to the lake and back. This was my release for months and months and saw me getting buff and feeling great. I started to build up the road bike from a Malvern Star frame bought for the princely sum of $15. I threw out all the suntour crap attached to it and re built it using modern Campag componentry sourced from fleabay.
Well all good things cant last and I busted myself up good. I came of a high fence one night at work and landed on my wrist, 8 feet below where i started. This managed to smash the end off both my radius and ulna and to pulverise my wrist dislocating my hand up along my arm. I also fractured my tail bone. Ouch
Gallons of pethadine and months of rehab later i have a wrist that works within limits but gives me constant grief. Thankfully I avoided the metal plates through a skilled surgeon.
Well I am starting to get back on the bikes again and now that ive moved back to civillisation in SE Qld I am motivated to get rid of the couch lard and get some kms under me.
