“If Helen can do it” I though, “then so can I”

“I mean, she’s only a GIRL”

Some bastard nicked my bike last year and I haven’t bothered getting a new one, what with this and that.

(“This” being winter and “that” being getting Leg 2.0 a while back. 10 weeks, actually.)

But I wanted to build up the muscles that have wasted away through inactivity, so Christoph – good lad that he is –  has lent me his bike for 3 weeks.

Gonso to the homestead is 9.8 km – most of it up hill – so 45 minutes isn’t too foul.

AND I only dismounted once.

I seriously though the Bionic Leg was about to launch itself into orbit…..
