Oh, and I started driving again last week. Ah, that lovely power steering.

And today I couldn't stand it any more and eased myself, very carefully, back into the saddle for the first time this season. First I pushed the bike to a section of quiet streets, this was no day to fight the commuting traffic.

It felt like I was trying to play the cello (and I don't play the cello.) But the 'music' was nice...even if I only went 100 metres or so...
