Had a spin on the road bike this arvo. Only a couple of k's but enough to know that I'm pretty well ready for riding again.

Wrist is ok on the top bar and on the drops, I can even sprint in the drops, but the hoods (my most common riding position) puts a lot of weight through the heel of my hand. This is still uncomfortable, particularly as my wrist brace has a metal insert that runs into the palm of the hand. I have good strength for changing gears and braking. I have had a spin without the brace and it is more comfortable to grip the hood but I feel vulnerable to damage from vibration or a fall.

So I am good for a ride. Now to convince the powers that be. I'm back to my specialist on the 17th, hoping for a conditional ok then.
