Hi folks

Sorry if it feels like i’ve gone a bit quiet on here lately, but i’ve been getting stuck into something else…………  No not croissants, but TRAINING!  And what a treat that has been after being on and off for the past 6 months.

After some consistent solid treatment on my piriformis muscle over the past two months, I have found the relief I have been looking for for over a year.

Chronic pain can become as much mental as it is physical, and for me that has been the hardest part to deal with.  The days where a small muscle twitch would make me think I was back to square one, and the way neural pain can be misinterpreted have made me learn a lot about myself and the different ways of dealing with prolonged rehab.

So, recently there have been some long lonely miles in the hills around Provence, and some solid time spent behind the scooter in an effort to get me back up to speed for my first race at the Tour of Poland starting this Sunday in Warsaw.

I am really excited about getting back into the peloton with all cylinders firing.  I will do my best to keep you posted during Poland, with some real grit from my office.

Thank you all for your support over this difficult time, it has been truly appreciated.

Righto time for me to pack the suitcase and get on the road.

Back soon

Tim
