Well, good for you. First of many, I trust. Did you enjoy it?
We've swapped stories about starting again after injury. I recognise everything in the quote above. Ain't that a kick in the head!
And maybe, yes, it's in the head. The more I swing my leg over the saddle, the more I can. Including now, swinging my leg over the stoker bars and stoker saddle on the tandem. And doing trail runs downhill on rocky ground.
'Courage' in the French sense of 'Go For it, Don't think twice it's all right'!
