Alas

Alas, I have been waiting and waiting while illness, work and academic endeavours repeatedly held me back from riding; waiting for the time when I could mount my steed and make epic rides. But, alas, when the time came and the hindrances were past...I then injured my shoulder. I was in a lot of pain, and I was scared that the injury might have a more permanent nature as they sometimes do. But 1.5 weeks on and the pain is steadily, if slowly, receding. And so I was able to ride out to King Lake and back today - 120km. And while I was sore the whole time and this was very distracting, I would not call it pain. In a week's time I hope to be ready for a proper ride.
