Rehabilitation ongoing, with a lunchtime spin. Second time out since 4th January, so HR is still way above normal even though leg strength doesn’t seem far off. Glorious out there, and found a tasty snack at HNCS🚴🏼💨😎👍

Nearly shit myself💩🤣

Now we’re starting to get somewhere🚴🏼💨🔥🥳👍

America, just in case you thought Friday went well here’s how the London Times saw it …..

Wander down to Nino's in Pangbourne for a snack and back…a few muddy patches encountered😆👍

Stretched out the legs and lungs with a longish spin on the indoor pain machine. Held 100% of my 4DP threshold power, so that’s forward progress🚴💨🥳👍 Need to keep working at it, because stamina and HR aren’t yet anywhere near where they were compared to when I last did this one on 8th Dec😬

Up to something…😆

I’m seriously missing cycling currently…went for one very short ride last week, but shoulder seems to be the ongoing main issue, which I’ve got 12 weeks of physio for. Still, TVP are keeping busy dealing with my incident reports from last year, with 3 positive outcomes just received inc this one🙈👍

Shoulder being very troubling…emergency measures deployed🔥😆👍

Every single one of the Trump supporters sounds like a domestic abuser. "You should've let him hit you, you shouldn't have complained in public, you're never grateful, you never say thank you."

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

Bit late for the joint press conference because Trump had to wait for the final version of his speech to come through from Moscow.

Soggy💦💦💦

Keeping the legs working, as boring as using the indoor trainer is…power output dropped and heart rate gone skywards compared to before enforced ‘break’😬

Dear Europe, Trump completely melts under pushback. So push back.

Went out and found some lunch😉

The otter keeper gave this baby otter a sock to keep warm. She later turned it into a onesie with holes for the hands, feet, and tail

Escaped for a rehabilitation walk this afternoon to get away from being welded to my laptop.…managed a reasonable distance👍

Repairs completed, with new derailleur and new guards fitted. Also fitted new chain and cassette whilst I was at it👍 Now the waiting game until I’m able to get back out again on it🥱

6 weeks into recovery today…nearly there🥳, and next step is intensive physio to sort out restricted movement and aching muscles. Bike’s keen to be put back into use…also need to replace the broken rear derailleur and mudguards on it first🚴💨
