It’s been a while since I have posted on here.

At this time of year I should be looking forward to getting out on my bike more, now that spring has sprung but I’m just not there yet. My health is still curtailling my life as a cyclist.

I really would like to be able to do a multi-night camping tour. Last summer I didn’t manage to get away at all. This was mainly due to two factors. One was that I planned a couple of holidays, visiting Scandinavia. The other was my health. I am still experiencing difficulties due to my IBD. Although I have occasional periods when I get flare-ups, even when I’m not confined to an area within close proximity to a toilet, I still have an underlying weakness. I get tired very easily and this prevents me from cycling (or even walking) sufficiently or regularly enough to build up any stamina.

I’m about to start on a new treatment which will involve an intravenous infusion followed by monthly injections. I’m hoping that this will finally address my health issues. I’m also starting a course of iron and, fingers crossed this will ease my constant feeling of tiredness and allow me to get out more regularly. Up till recently I’ve been able to claim I was fit if not healthy I’m looking forward to enjoying both.

I really do want to get back to being a cyclist once more.
