smile as wide as my bars

A smile as wide as my home made bullhorn bars – went for my first ride after my crash yesterday. it was fine, a couple of laps round the park in the glorious october sunshine?? – and even stopped to read my book for a while and pause and reflect on it all. My friend has just lent me a bunch of cycle based books, including "put me back on my bike" – the other tommy simpson bio. fairly apt title for me over the last couple of weeks.

I wasn't expecting it to feel as weird being back in the saddle – i was all like "oh it will be just like sitting in my favourite chair once more" – but it was actually more like wearing someone else's odd shoes, only for the first five minutes thank god.
