Back to spinning for Alex.

Alex came spinning with us this Monday.
It was her first time in 5 months.
She managed to turn those pedals around for 30 mins or so and then did most of the floor exercises after that.
We all kept an eye on her but she seemed to be fine.
I asked her if her legs ached this morning (because mine did) and she said she felt fine.
I hate young people don't you?

Hey..I'm a sailor!

Well.....
What a great weeksnd we all had sailing on the Solent.
Got to Portsmouth Friday evening and had a lovely steak.
We threw the raw meat onto a BBQ grill that was built into the table and watched it (and smelled it) cook.
Slept on the boat that evening.
Saturday morning we had a safety brief from Chris and then set sail.
We stopped for lunch just off the Isle of Wright coast.
Hmmm.. pies and beans.
Then off to Cowes where we berthed for the night.
Sunday morning we went up river for a bit of fun steering the boat forwards and backwards in figures of 8.
The locals must have thought we were loopy.
Then out into the Solent again for a bit of full sail action.
All very exciting.
We want to do it all again ASAP.
Many thanks to Chris for the invite.
Had a great time.

A Pirate weekend..

Hello.
This week Alex has had more physio and lowered the seat height on the excercise bike again.
She and Gill went out for a 20 min ride around the park.
Wey hey!....."Off Road!"
She remembered to wear padded shorts this time.
Tonight we are off to Portsmouth to jump on a sailing boat for the weekend.
Weather is looking good.
Ey ey captain..
Avast me hearties...
Rum!

Alex's first ride.

Alex threw a leg over Pink bike on Saturday and rode around the block for 15 mins.
She had more fun than a week in Chamonix.
Well done to her and let's hope it's the start of a full recovery.
We want our riding buddy back soon.
:O)
