Back on the Road AGAIN!!

Wot a boring 12 weeks its been!
The optimism in previous post soon dimmed.  Crutches weren't laid down until about 5 weeks and then another 4 weeks before the moon-boot came off.  But then physios put me back on the crutches, so that I could re-learn the skill of walking and waking up muscles that haven't been used for all that time.
Frozen ankle needed to be stretched, calf muscles woken up and generally exercises, exercises and more exercises!!
But eventually it all starts to work again and although I am supposed to be using one crutch when walking long distances no, I felt it was time to take the bike off the trainer and get out on the open road.
The weather thought it might do some light rain, but I ignored that and it went away.  First I thought I would just ride down to Norman Creek at Stones Corner.  But felt pretty good, so thought I would ride into work to see if I was up to that.  All good as I rode over the Goodwill Bridge, so thought I would continue along Corro drive bike way - stopping to photo the ferris wheel.

Am looking worried - its just the phone tech that's bothering me!

 Once I got to the end of Corro Drive thought I might as well continue to UQ and cross back over the green bridge and head back to Stones Corner.

Been missing out on proper haloumi - so dropped into Rock n Roll, got the cheese and a coupla other things, then headed over to Ridge St to check out a new little cute looking coffee shop.  The coffee was good as was the raisin toast.

I pondered about the strong wind that had sprung up while I'd been pedalling around, so headed back to Norman Cr and made sure I could ride all the way home along my usual commute.
So All Good!!  25km clocked up - no major aches and pains along the way - we shall see if I can get out of bed in the morning.
Life is looking good again - 3 months is far too long to be cranky and tied down to moon-boots and crutches!
