Here is something I am currently smiling about, my Mountain Bike may be back on the road rather than just an ornament gathering dust.
Since getting hurt in a work based accident which damaged my neck and shoulder, my Bike has sat dormant. I have tried to sell it several times, but no one but me has ever seen it's potential. It is a race ready Giant XtC Team edition in Giant team colours and is super lightweight.
Well with the addition of some new parts, such a huge fat back side saddle and a raised stem, I am now putting it back together and really hoping that I can go for a ride. I may not be able to mud plug and race over rocky tracks the way I used to, but just cycling down the prom will put an even bigger smile on my face.
Pain is for wimps, it has been five years since I got hurt and I have to accept that it is never going to get better, so time to move on and deal with life. This is just another step along that way and I am grinning like a junkie on speedballs!
