Will I ever get there?

Things have not gone exactly as planned in the last few months, apart from losing a few kilos.

Like many others, I've had a fair share of illness and then, on Christmas Day, I slipped on ice and damaged some ribs.  I was carrying a chocolate log at the time and my effort to save it caused me to fall awkwardly.  The good news is that the cake was saved but, unfortunately, it didn't last as long as the injury has.  My son Tim made a fitting comment; "At least you took a bullet for the cake!".  And it was a nice cake.

I'm hoping that there will be a coming together of better weather and a mended back quite soon.

In the meantime I'm working on some new bikes to inspire me.

More to follow.
