I had a rather prolonged initial recovery time, a pretty wretched time in fact as I was in hospital for three days longer than planned and I was re-admitted 10 days later with complications. And I still have a few minor problems remaining, in particular my wound, which still hasn't healed fully. Until it heals, I dare not do any exercise other than walking and my walks are pretty short. I daren't throw my leg over a bike for fear of opening up that wound again. So in my plentiful spare time I have been testing out some of the products which are now a part of my life.
I have added a page at the top entitled "Product Reviews", which sounds a whole lot more formal than it is. After all, I'm just one woman and my testing is a long way from scientific! But for any help it may give to anyone else, I thought I would commit to paper the results of the testing I have done.
In about three weeks, my husband is organising a group of friends on a weekend of mountain biking around Rhayader. I will be going along and, although I won't be taking part, I intend to take a bike (the one in the picture below). I will be ten weeks post-surgery and I hope to be able to ride, just a little bit, because on present projections, my wound will have healed. There are some flat cycle paths and maybe I can slowly and painfully ride a handful of miles. And I'll have no clothes crises, as MTB clothes leave much more room for modesty than road cycling clothes. I'll be wearing baggy MTB shorts or even a skirt!
