just wanted to say thanks y'all for last week. had a wicked time and felt thoroughly welcome, even when i was going the opposite way to the ball on purpose. good to meet/re-meet/see people too.
had massive cramping pains in my hand all thursday (keep it clean!) so might not be along for a few weeks til I've built up the guns some more. but polo is ace and i'll be back!

Boo. Sweetie that sucks. I don't know much about how tennis elbow works and not at drinks tonight to chat. You can definitely have my brace if it'll be useful, looks a bit like this if you don't remember...

When I first started riding again, I went to Brixton Cycles and we spent ages figuring out the best stem and bar combination to put as little strain as possible on the elbow. My prob was that I could only straighten my arm to about 35 degrees AND couldn't lean any weight on it, use fingers well, twist my wrist or arm, take shock of the bumps in the road and may other horrible things. There's loads more I haven't remembered but to start with you could think about:
- Switching your brake on your bars to your good side
- Getting big fuckoff padded gloves (your elbow takes all the vibrations, bumps etc. - that was one of the most painful bits for me)
- Big wide risers (wider ones mean less putting weight on elbow when riding and also weight in different place to usual)
- More spacers for stem. Will make your bike look like a giraffe and you look like a straightbacked little old lady, but again, stops you leaning so much weight on arms.
- Really padded grips
You can try my big wide granny bars and I also have a lot of leftover codeine :D
- Switching your brake on your bars to your good side

Excellent then. Any excuse to indulge my love of moustaches.

its true! i just tried it. i almost feel like i'm there now.
have fun kids.
That'd work though wouldn't it? What with the classic holding your nose and biting into an onion school boy trick.
Fact learnt over the weekend (in fact I shouldn't reveal this now, as it'd be a great pint winner later):
Raise your right foot 12 inches off the ground.
Do clockwise circles with it.
With your right hand draw out a number six in the air.
Your foot will involuntarily start going anti clockwise. -

woo! i'm in.
