Recovery and Riding
Published by Matt Glover June 16th, 2008 in Cycling
My back surgery recovery is going well. So well in fact that I was able to complete the 65km ride on the new Eastlink tollway on Sunday morning (yeah - wagged church to do it).
The above pic appeared in Mondays Age newspaper. If you look carefuilly, you can see me in the top right hand corner. I’m the one with the helmet and bike…;)
It was a great morning with a great atmosphere surrounding the place. Over 40 000 riders made even this huge road seem a bit squeezy at times.
The next riding goal is to get under that elusive 20 minute mark for the 1:20 climb up to Sassafrass in the Dandenongs, before heading around the Bay again in October.
Hey Matt,
Nice to hear you’re recovering well! But looking at the signs, weren’t you riding on the wrong side of the road?
Yep.
We actually rode up and back on the same side, which proved to be a bit chaotic when there were riders going both ways at the same time with little or no dividing markers between them!
Now I’m officially jealous.
That looks like fun. Good to hear that your recovery is going well.
MG = Machine!
