Hey all,

Seems like a lot of new people around that won't know me but for those that do I'm off to hospital on the 29th Jan to have the metalwork in my elbow removed. :) Hopefully that should cure a lot of the problems I'm still suffering after my moment of madness in Brechfa. This could lead to me make a return to the muddy trails (but I think I'll still use the road bike as I seem to enjoy the pain of climbing too much).

Also on the plus side, I get signed off for a fortnight after the op as well, so I'm barely back to work from the Christmas break and I get more time off.

Good luck on the op and ignore the above request as I think you've done plenty enough damage for now :blink:

Hope to see you on the trails soon :)

Bloody hell Craig . . . I can't believe how much that Afan crash has affected you and your arm - the impact it's had. . . .

Good luck in this final stage of getting back to where things were . . . Only you won't be able to say that you carry a little bit of Wales around with you anymore . .

Good luck - hope to see you back on the trails soon.

It might be a good idea to post a photo of yourself, as we've forgotten what you look like!

Best of luck with the op Craig, it's been a long time for you and it can't have been that much fun over the past months :( Not long now though and you're welcome to join us any time you feel that mad rush and the need to get down and .... muddy ;) keep us posted on your progress

Never met you in my life! However you have an @rser so we're like one big family right?

So I wish you the very best of luck and am disappointed that I didn't get to witness what I gather was an epic crash? :D

Thanks all for the wishes. I'm putting a trip to ride the Amstel Gold sportiv on hold as I'm not sure if I'd be up to it, but planning a road bike trip to the Pyrenees with a couple of people from work and guys from their cycling groups in September.

Can't wait to get back on the dusty/muddy/frozen/claggy trails as well as hitting the roads.

EddyDave, here's the aftermarth of the crash...

Ollie, from what I can gather I don't get to keep the metalwork. :(

Oh, and thanks Ming, but I tried that enough times walking around in the ice the last couple of weeks.
