Sean Barker Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I decided I was going stir crazy, having been off the bike for 10 days with a fractured wrist. So yesterday I went into Boots and bought a heavy duty wrist support complete with straps. This morning I wore it over my splint, completely immobilizing the wrist, then headed off for Tewkesbury to ride a 200km Audax. I have to tell you it was a hell of a lot tougher than usual and took me three hours longer to ride it than I would ordinarily expect. In fact I didn’t finish until 9:30pm, utterly shattered. Glad I did it now, I think I’ll sleep well tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Barker Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Wow Mandy that's even more amazing than my ride :rofl I'm glad I did it now and there have been no ill effects. The only section that I really struggled on was the lumpy bit between Ludlow and Kington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Barker Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Fair comment Dave The trouble is it’s just the way I’m wired When I set myself a target I just get tunnel vision and won’t allow anything to stop me. That’s why and how I have managed the tours I have done. The thing is I have now set myself a three and a half year target to achieve ten RRTY’s so I have to ride three 200km Audax events every calendar month no matter what.
