Heading home.
Well, after a solid week of couch time, and being given the all clear from the Doc to fly, tomorrow I’m on the plane back home to NZ to continue my recovery.
I’m feeling a lot better than one week ago after just coming out of hospital, since all the pain killers etc are out of my system and can get up and move around a little now. They say on average five pro cyclists are hospitalised every week during the season, so I guess it was just my turn. From now on though its all about resting, and of course getting into the rehabilitation period which is very open ended time wise.
I would really like to thank Pete, Brei, Sam, Scott, and Karine for all there help looking after me during the last week (I know Pete is pretty over doing dishes by now so I’ll have to pull my weight when I return). Also to my French friends in Albi thanks for coming by, the company is always much appreciated, and thanks to all those who have left comments already on the site they have been great.
I will drop in with some more stories soon.
Cheers Tim

Hey Guddy!
Love your site buddy! (note I didn’t string the buddy and the guddy together…..I’d hate to grate you while you’re suffering!). Hope you have a safe trip home – even when you’re in pain and heading home for the wrong reasons, you can’t beat that feeling of flying into Aoetearoa mate – enjoy it.

hi Tim,
j’espere que tu vas bien et tu vas bientot pouvoir remonter sur le vélo. En attendant de retrouver la grande forme, repose toi bien et profite de ta famille et de tes amis.
A Bientot

Hello Tim,
I wish you to come back in Europe as soon as possible to show us your great talent we already noticed !
I guess you expect that as well.
Bon rétablissement !
