Back to form in 3-6 weeks depending on how quickly I can shed the weight so I can get back into tougher training. I can't do a lot yet anyways coz the shoulder muscles are all clapped out and the break isn't completely knitted, so hard standing starts and savage hocking are out of the question for another 3-4 weeks.

I'll drop in and race at Calga in a few weeks time to get a feel for what needs to be done. No point ATM because I descend like a B grader and climb like an E grader on mandrax.
