Thanks all. Great link ZenCentury - picture looks exactly as it feels.

Silver - even if I could hold onto my handle bars, I am pretty sure that I would be very unpopular with DH if I rode with a cast on. Mr Silver is obviously a "saint". I did get a DVD of the Les Mills last 2 releases of RPM. Yay! I Might take my trainer out into the yard if it's a nice day on the weekend.

Road Raven - cycling isn't meanst to be my priority either (haha). I know it's a cliche, but I had planned to do Round Taupo. I'll just wait & see how it feels in 2 weeks. There is always the Mt Taranaki ride or the Grape Ride to aim for. My trainer suggested I find a team for Taupo, but I'd rather skip it if I can't do it all myself. Well I say that at this stage. We've already booked accommodation - maybe DH can ride my bike for the 1st half & I'll finish.

Bike4Ever - I thought I had a high P threshhold - but this is worse than having a baby without drugs. It's just a deep boring pain - especially after doing too much. Like typing on my computer! - that has no cute reward at the end!

Thanks Wahine for your insight. Luckiily it's my left hand so use that less when adjusting. I'm trying not to think about what happens if I need surgery. It just isn't a pretty thought actually. My associates are working really hard & we are already one chiro down, so now wasn't the ideal time. Luckily, I have a great team who I can trust and great patients who've been great about seeing others. They keep poking their heads into my office for a chat & so I'm still able to procrastinate on the jobs I usually claim I never have time for - like paperwork! Aerobars - Mmmm... bike bling! Not that i needed an excuse!

Well I will keep you all updated. Thanks again for your insights
