Yeah you're right there Jeff - I thought it is the best I had that I find comfy enough. I have got a Black Selle Italia Turbo, but I thought a bit of colour would be a good idea :facepalm: .

Re:
1st Ride after Reversal:
Rightyho, this was taken just before I set out on my 1st ride since the 16th June, the day before my Surgery. I’ll probably not volunteer that information to the Colorectal Surgery Team when I see them for my first check-up on 9th August. I felt comfortable enough to ride, without it pulling on anything - and I am technically sat down while doing something that I find relaxing
.
This is also the first time that I have worn any shorts or trousers with a waistband and belt since November 2017. I’m looking forward to pulling on a pair of jeans again!

To everyone out there that doesn't really have a mental picture of just *HOW MUCH* of Pip was opened up, imagine they cut you, straight up, from the base of your knob, all the way up to your rib cage. it's a very significant incision.
And another, several inches long, heading sideways, over one side of your stomach.
Props to you Pip, but take it easy, as the muscles underneath do take time to knit together, and it really does take 7-8 weeks to regain most of it's strength.
I give this post 12 thumbs up

I think it was fine Steve for you and I to compare our scars in a kinda of Jaws film scene type stylee - the bit on board the Orca fishing boat between Robert Shaw (Quint), Richard Dreyfuss (Hooper) & Roy Scheider (Brody)My_Teenage_Self":8aywo2id said:
. I'm not sure however if the average RB member will be able to stomach (see what I did there?) those pictures :shock: ...... perhaps they would like to let us know on here :?: .
Having said that, there does seem to be a tradition of showing riding scars amongst the MTB fraternity, in some sort of gruesome fascination.

Great news, glad to see you are rolling again!
I used to make my chemo team roll their eyes just before the dose was infused when they asked me how I was, I would tell them that I had ridden 30 miles the day before.
If you are struggling with reach let me know and I will post you a set of On-One Mary bars.

Absolute skills Pip...so Winrock and Whistler next week then?
